Human nature, we're all show offs at heart, something training, rules and proceedures attempt to deny us, and rightly so in most circumstances.

Glad to hear nobody was killed, miraculous to be honest.

Extremely stupid and he should be very happy to not have a bunch of lives on his conscience!

The interesting thing with all these showoff accidents is the part I remember from "The most dangerous Enemy" where they realized that of all lost British aircraft during the Battle of Britain more than 30% where lost to accidents, many of them due to unnecessary low level flight in non combat situations (show offs over the base or the girlfriends house?)... And at that point a bunch of people on the ground was irrelevant, but a bunch of Spitfires with their trained pilots where losses that could have made Hitler win the war... At the other hand - if I would have been scared to death over the channel for an hour and then finally managed to shoot down my first 109 I'm pretty sure that a low level victory roll over the field could have happened, especially if I was 19 years old...

Absolutely fabulous video!

I see snow, probably somebody forgot to remind him that the air is a bit thinner up there...

Very lucky guy, no loss of life.

Thanks for sharing.

PS. The video with the tree is also magnificent!
