Stupid pilot tricks:

Here is one and the guy on the ground is just as stupid as the pilot. I like low fly by's. At this level with the wing that close to the ground IMO he has crossed into the stupid zone.

And don't forget the guy with the camera!

This was inches from being a catastrophe for the families and bad press for the rest of us.

I would imagine the pilot is sweating right now, sometimes videos aren't a great thing.

Re: Stupid pilot tricks:

And that isn't the only stupid flying thing posted on the various aviation web pages. I am amazed the dumb stuff people post, first of all, some of the stuff is down right dangerous and second, they are just handing the FAA all they need to violate which I guess in some of the examples would actually be appropriate. Think before doing, start at the hearing and work your way backwards, it may save a life or at least a possible FAA violation.

I fuss at my ag boys to get the turn done and wings level before the wire. This guy hasn't even considered wires.

Here's a guy that does get clipped. If he wakes up he's gonna have one hell of a head ache.

Just remember... A low flying contest can only end in a tie!

That said, I love a good buzz job, and rumor has it I may have done a few... But not with camera close-ups and dipshits trying to get hit by the prop.
