I read the pilot who did that was sacked-no wonder really-that was stupid:brilliant but stupid.

Reminds me of that crazy USAF pilot that crashed the B-52 practising for an airshow-the guy had already been suspended for low/dangerous flying and then practising with a senior surpervising officer,he stalled the Buff twice at low level before crashing-what a numbty >:(

Yipe that`s the very one-I saw a documentry about the pilot involved-his superior officer was suspended for not grounding him sooner-after the horse had bolted me thinks!

The crash pilot had previously been repremanded several times for his low flying-there is also footage of him in a B-52 popping up over the rim of a canyon;only clearing the rim by a few feet-an accident waiting to happen I`m afraid. :-X
