I don't see how you can draw a parallel between a pilot with incredibly poor judgement stunting over a residential area, nowhere near a traffic pattern, and getting in way over his head, with executing a planned manuever to landing. No halfway responsible pilot would even begin to consider what this pilot apparently did as "risk free stuff". It had nothing to do with executing an overhead break to landing. I don't recall any of the previous posts that were in favor of the overhead break having any flavor of "when you are really bored in the pattern just go low and fast and throw in a few barrel rolls to impress the neighbors". That's a cheap shot. Jeff, you're actually hurting your case by comparing this disaster to a well executed landing manuever. Tom Gourley
