Hi folks,

itīs not o.k. to fly under influence of alcohol. So it is the pilots own fault to got charged.

About the flying bit on the video - itīs not that scarry for me at all.
He went of low level - in ground effect and then did a zoomclimb to convert speed into height - probably a military background - and it seems, that there have been plenty of room for an emergencylanding in case of.
May be there are different views - but with a Bell two blade system you can easily fly this profile with beeing able to land in case of any emergency - whats reckless except beeing drunk while doing it?

Greetings Flying Bull
