Please all Flight Instructors and Commercial Operators, if your
students or customers tell you how cool this is, let them know ALL OF
THESE STUNTS ARE VERY, VERY DANGEROUS!!

Let them know it is HOLLYWOOD Stunts they are seeing and several of
them would be ILLEGAL IN THE US, and all of them are not condoned by
safe operators and safe pilots!

the low pass over people particularly got to me, exciting, yes,
dangerous, Oh so very!!


Really?

I'll agree that the low passes over people and planes are a dangerous,
bad idea (and illegal in the US - 500' rule, etc) but the rest is a
lot of what high performance soaring is about!

They are not "HOLLYWOOD Stunts".
