In one word YES reckless
Very good sir

And very well spotted, you were probably aware of the fatigue issues of large spans of aluminium as in wing skins.

At low levels and very high air desities those pesky air molecules create far greater force at high angles of incidence and in an older airframe this over time creates severe fatigue cracking around the ribs and rivet heads.

Of course renters would never care and its only the owners that suffer in the long term.
