I would think part of the problem here that is going to get the FAA bent out of shape is that this isn’t just a stunt. Its a stunt that was put out there as an incident/near miss. Its one thing to do a stunt and go “hey, look at this cool stunt…don’t try this at home we are professionals…”. Its a whole nuther thing to go “man, looks at this close call by crazy pilot and stupid ground dwellers…just kidding!”. ---

It’s a court of public opinion. I suspect this maneuver didn’t go as planned because professional aerobatic pilots are not a bunch of barnstorming jackasses. They’re a very disciplined group. They have to be to survive. [Previous page](https://boards.straightdope.com/t/the-faa-will-not-be-amused-biplane-buzzes-people-on-runway/648259.md?page=2)
