You say that the plane "passed a complete overhaul just before the airshow, so the risk of failure was minimum." The opposite is true. After taking everything apart and putting it back together, the chances are EXCELLENT that something could go wrong. Whenever a plane comes out of heavy maintenance for my airline, specially trained engineering pilots must flight check it (since the probability of problems arising are high). This was a stupid stunt....but cool to watch!

@quinnjim Obviously, It was a bit befor, not just before, not the same ;)

@quinnjim How is this more stupid than any other airshow stunt? It's an aircraft. There were 2 SOB, and they were the pilots themselves. Are you telling me that nobody should ever do aerobatics nor push the machinery they know anywhere near their capabilities? Just because they sit there day in and day out doing short hops doesn't mean they can't do more.

Did any of the owners of the aircraft on the right have anything to say about that pass at 00:12? specifically about their airplanes taking off without them inside, lol

Well, those planes were attached to the ground with wires, but there's another version of this video that I did not crop, and there can be seen the rudders of the planes directly hit by the jet blast.

Anyway, there was no single damage to a single bolt.
