Impressive display (of stupidity?) near Trafalgar.
Driving to the rellos for Christmas lunch about 11:30 Christmas morning and we were treated to a display of low flying by the pilot of a (ultra-) light aircraft just to the west of Trafalgar, Vic. After a number of low orbits over an admiring crowd at a local property which may have been between 100' and 200', the pilot conducted one last pass considerably lower before pulling up over the house and heading off in the general direction of Latrobe Valley Airport.
I would like to think that the pilot held the appropriate endorsements and approvals and was operating in accordance with appropriate risk management procedures. Perhaps someone who knows of the cirumstances and can set my mind at ease.
I wonder was the pilot aware that just three and a half hours earlier another pilot was killed conducting similar manouvres just a few miles to the south-west?
