Great flying. You can see the tiny touches that mark a pilot who knows what he's doing. Slight climb into the steep banks at low altitude, minute but keeps the wingtip from the weeds. Many other small masterful touches.

Great piloting!! We used to have C54's here, but I never saw one do like that.

I say it was great piloting. This guy really knows the bird. He definately pushed it to the edge though.

The pilot in this video is a respected ex Air Force Pilot and Airline Pilot. The aircraft was flown within all of its limits. With proper planning and practice all manouvers were cleared by the SAAF. I know as I was the co-pilot during these flights, yes there was more than one, and never was I afraid or thought that we were endangering anybody.

@andresprieto68 Aviation? Perhaps not. Air shows? DEFINITELY a circus. That is and always will be the point. It's a fine line between idiot and great pilot. A great pilot is one who understands not only his airplane, but it's condition (especially metal fatigue) intimately and knows exactly what he can get away with and no more. Did he crash this plane? Until the evidence shows otherwise, he looks more like a great pilot than an idiot.

great pilot? He´s an asshole. What the hell he was thinking? The aviation is not a circus

idiot

That simultaneous restart was beautiful! Amazing teamwork, amazing pilot. Was it bad risk management? Well I've seen guys jump out of an airplane when all 4 engines were still running so...
