The Hunter ended up exactly where he put it. Other control inputs, other outcomes.
So true!
Every person displaying, even the Red Arrows, had to have their displays observed and validated by a team of experienced test pilots from the Flying Control Committee; I have known them tell ATC to instruct the pilot to break off his display and land on several occasions when they decided it didn't meet their exacting standards.
As it should be. The display pilot must be able to define a repeatable routine, with plausible escape routes, and no need to change from that. If you're changing from a proper, accepted plan, either your plan was not good enough, or you're freelancing! Neither is appropriate in display flying!
