That was fun. Sorry Leland, but I must disagree. In my opinion the pilot showed great focus and control, his turns coordinated and true, always in control.
He's good. That boy knows how to fly. I piloted a single engine plane once, we flew from Leesburg to New Market and I did the steering once we got aloft. I instinctively pulled back on the yoke as we neared Sugarloaf as I thought we were going to hit. We weren't but I'll be damned if I could help myself from wanting to get some more air between us and the mountain.
Since then I have not had any desire to fly. Flew commercial hundreds of times but I don't even do that any longer. I'm good.
When dude was banking I noticed that he was losing altitude - I guess there is not a lot of lift when the plane is rotated 90 degrees longitudinally, eh?

I'm somewhat impressed, but the flying was a bit too erratic for me to trust that could be pulled off time and time again.
They ruined the surprise by the key frame.
My favorite part is the bugs hitting the windscreen. Splatsplatsplatsplatsplat 4 or 5 at once like raindrops.

Madness! Madness!
Yeah, no.

The bridge scene in “The Blue Max” did more for me, as did seeing Ursula Andress undress.
