If the French pilot had half the balls of that Captain (that would give him approximately 6) he would have said ' surtout pas!' when ordered to do an ultra low speed gear down fly by at as close to stall speed to show off 'stall protection' WTF?? (like, hey man, I got a NEW BULLET PROOF VEST!, C'mon...SHOOT ME!)
It's not a question of balls, but just that guy Asseline is a lunatic, well known to shoot at rabits in a populated area with a 22L Rifle.
He was not ordered to fly that low, neither that slow, he is a crazy guy and realy should bear all the blame as he volontarily broke the rules set for this fly.
End of story.
