Just as bad are the low time non aerobatic wannabe airshow guys (and it always guys ) who do a low pass and then a steep pull up in their low powered trainers.

I once watched an instructor in a C 152 (with a student on board ) do one with an attempt to curve off the top and land on the cross runway. The aircraft ran out of energy at about 400 feet just as he cranked in a bunch of bank with the nose still well high. I could see the wings wobble as the aircraft entered a stall, but the instructor was just fast enough to get the nose down before a tragedy happened.

Respect your aircraft and your limits......

I unfortunately did not have to ask who the instructor was, he allready had a big rep as reckless and unprofessional.

To you instructors out their, don't be that guy
