Like him or not the man just had an experience none of us would have survived
I don't know about you, but I wouldn't ever be down that low over water, doing aeros, thats just me though... And was it luck, just a little maybe?
I don't suppose the hours spent in FA 18's & F22's & unlimited aerobatics would put him in any position to know what he's talking about
Ummm, no. Just because you do them, doesn't make them any less risky. How long has he been flying, all that hot gear and yet still can fall down. I'm not trying to have a go at him, or the race, it is a hugely popular sport and good on them for competing in it. Just don't try and tell me that you 'manage' the risks in that sport... Do that long enough, that close to the ground, and it will get you...
