There are two people in aviation. One is a person who tries to stay out of trouble. The other is a person who looks for trouble. Look for trouble long enough, you'll find it.

The above behavior is a sign of inexperience and or SPS. (small penis syndrome) It is not worth the risk and gives aviators a bad name.

Okay I take your point but sometimes we need a bit of colour in aviation instead of this over regulated disapproving society we have now.

While not approving of these antics maybe part of me likes the pushing boundaries in human nature and so admire those that push the boundaries (some have big DKs)

I saw a video of a guy who landed on top of a mountain covered in snow. Engine off he was pushed down a slope and accelerated till he had takeoff speed and then glided without engine power all the way to a landing at an airfield in the valley!

i also read of some pilot flying under all the bridges in London decades back! Every time I look at Tower bridge I get an urge

We need colour in this grey world

Maybe this guy suffers with little W syndrome ))
