pilot's seat and performed a takeoff which he described as 'hanging the aircraft on the props', and some very tight manoeuvres which made me feel queasy and unsafe. That was of course the last time I flew with him.

Mmmmmm, bit like an instructor I flew with recently.

Sorry, there is no excuse for showing off, and those pretending it may be a training exercise are stretching the boundaries a bit. I have witnessed many departures, and landings for that matter, where it was evident that a bit of a cavalier attitude may have crept in. Air Show take offs, are, in my experience best left for Air Shows
