Well said, BlenderPilot!
We have no idea of the ID of the pilot seen by Vfr. Judging by what Vfr describes, he wasn't being too wise on this occasion.
He may always fly dangerously but, equally, he may on this one occasion have carried on when the safest and best course was to divert or make a precautionary landing.
Perhaps it was a mess he shouldn't have got himself into in the first place. He's not the first to do that, and he won't be the last.
Let's just hope it was a 'one-off' which thankfully he survived and he's learned a valuable lesson for the rest of his flying life.
