LOLHAY - Take a pill RTR. Not every country is so uptight about stunt flying as the USA.

That is just mad Skillzzzz, BIG BALLS! and a great plane!

You should see these guys fly through the hole in a rock in china, again mad Skillzz! I'll find the movie and post it.

Pill don't fix that one Mars.

Doesn't matter what country it is. The fact is, is that the people on the bridge were about an inch of pull on the stick away from catastrophe.

I really don't care who the pilot was. He made a bad decision and got away with it. Those things don't always work out that way. It was irresponsible.

That guy should have his licence taken away. He looks like an accident waiting for a place to happen to me. A pretty poor decision. The people who were on that bridge were very lucky. So was the pilot.

RTR

Do you think whether or not his certificate is in his pocket will make any difference? Just means they can't take it away

My experience isn't stuck inside a little piece of plastic...take it away and that doesn't mean I don't know how to fly.

To add...

At no point was he out of control of that airplane.

seeing that guy fly in more than a few films that his team has done, that plane was under complete control the entire time.

RTR, you need to relax pal.

No guts, no glory. That's why, in AH arenas, you're the prey and not the predator.

The guy is just good beyond your comprehension.

Mussie : You miss understand my post.

Not that I fly in the brains of mush camp, But wrather My view is that he has brains of mush.

My personal favorite manaver is just going 230 mph at 2-3 feet off runaways.

Remember the days when you saw Evil Kinevil jump and said "man thats cool". When did it start to be "Man thats irresponsible, someone could have been hurt" Basically just wonder when the world filled with Pu**ies?

Hey if those people want to take the risk why should you stand in their way, it's their life. Why would we need the gov or anyone else tell us what to do?

NO, he is a professional, that is what these guys do. There is a big difference.

Bino, yeah thanks Xjaz. Check out the book "No Visible Horizon" It talks about how a handfull of pilots, best of the best, were invited to fly through this rock. The book talks about how each pilot is not thinking how can I do this, but what am I going to do? Loop through it, roll through, fly inverted through it. It was pretty cool.
The book also talks about a bridge fly under much like this where one of the pilots pankakes the water on the last quarter of the loop. Morph has my book so he will have to post the pilots name. He is one of our American all stars flying today.

These are guys they call "Zero Tolerance" individuals, that have honed their skills to a fine edge and are capable of these kinds of feats and are far from irresponsible.

For me it was when I had my first crash that did not involve someone else.

I had been hit twice by cars, but had never dropped my motor bikes with out "UNREQUESTED ASSISTANCE".

The night I went down in the rain going uphill and straight really kicked my ego in the goolies..... (I hit a patch of cement powder some prettythang had dropped on the road. cement powder gets real slippery when wet)

I found myself calling an ambulace in the middle of nowhere with no street lights at two am in the morning. I thought I had broken ribs, turned out it was a dislocated shoulder.....

Point is I was going strainght, up hill doing the speed limit...... If I had been doing 200 (like I have done on the same road) i would have been very very dead......

That was the point where I went from bold rider to old rider.......

Perhaps If I did not have a family to support I would think differently but that is not the case.

Later

PS: that pilot is insane, but he does have balls of steel....
