Just have to read Code7700 (Code 7700) stories to see that being in the forces does not automatically make you a safe operator.

Somewhere out there is a war movie where a heroic low pass is made and a soldier is killed by the passing aircraft


After being informed what he’s done the pilot deliberately flies into the ground


Anyone recognize this tale ?


I can’t remember the name of it

That happens in the recent TV series "Catch 22"...

That's shockingly close and I couldn't imagine the FAA issuing a waiver to do that...That, to me, was a reckless and careless operation. And I agree he's definitely too low...even Patty Wagstaff doesn't go below 22' when she's inverted and cutting a ribbon.

I'm not saying that such recklessness could not occur in the U.S.; however, being that the aircraft was of Venezuelan registry, I doubt that the FAA had any authority or input on this display of aeronautical idiocy.

Thats right, I remember now from the book and movie

I didn’t know they had made a recent TV series

is it any good?

I don't know why I thought FAA

I would check that wing tip
