You have to admit this story sounds like trolling.

First flight with no instructor and only a few hours in with a sim.

Greased the landing despite hurricane force winds.

Flying close enough to the house for the wife to see out the window.

Well qualified brother immediately turns plane into pile of sticks.

Near joy at turning plane into pile of sticks.

Certainly seems to violate almost every "good practice" espoused on the boards.
