Apart from hitting a bump on take off, and the consequent save, the flight was fine,
Obviously the guy can fly, as the rest of the flight was uneventful.
Gentlemen,
I completely disagree with your comments. While I am not a turbine pilot, I fly plenty of fast planes and just as dangerous if not more so with the quisanart blade on front.
His first pass around went directly thru the sun, he got lucky all over again that he was able to pick it back up and finish the flight.
Poor pilot indeed.
