Extremely stupid and he should be very happy to not have a bunch of lives on his conscience!

The interesting thing with all these showoff accidents is the part I remember from "The most dangerous Enemy" where they realized that of all lost British aircraft during the Battle of Britain more than 30% where lost to accidents, many of them due to unnecessary low level flight in non combat situations (show offs over the base or the girlfriends house?)... And at that point a bunch of people on the ground was irrelevant, but a bunch of Spitfires with their trained pilots where losses that could have made Hitler win the war... At the other hand - if I would have been scared to death over the channel for an hour and then finally managed to shoot down my first 109 I'm pretty sure that a low level victory roll over the field could have happened, especially if I was 19 years old...
