You are right its a strong accusation against Skip Holm. But I was personally in Russian on a movie set with him, Rigs and 4 other pilots when the news of the revocation came in from the FAA back home. All of us heard Skip admit that he rolled on Rigs because - and I quote "you can produce movies but I have to make a living flying and this is my fourth violation and probably my last". Bottom line Skip hung his wingman out to dry to save himself. If you doubt the fact Skip is dangerous, check out this Youtube Video

YouTube - Jet vs. car in Kill Speed Movie

Easily 275 knots within 10 feet of people on the ground and then a pull into the vertical over some houses in the background.

I admire his talents but after this nonesense, I would never fly with Skip again.
