Let´s put this into the context, please. This happened in a private huge rural area, and he was asked by the jet owner to do it.

Also as Megafly said, the moonlight was so intense and the place so dark that even without lights the plane was visible all the time.

I also recommend for you guys fly at night in a safe place like this,and not necessarily with a expensive jet. One of my nicest flights I remember was with a zagi electric flying wing with the milky way as the background.

Enrique is completely correct, keep this in context. This was a PRIVATE FIELD in Brazil; in a very rural area. No risk to the hobby what-so-ever...

Same argument can be made about Evil Kneivel or any TV commercial that has the FINE print that says things like "professional drivers on a closed course".
I don't see this video as being any worse than the ones of people flying heli's in a park around joe public.

Thanks for sharing. You can find sour grapes anywhere in the world. Just ignore them.

Sadly, we live in a world whre we are taught that we can do anything we want without taking any responsibility for it. One would have hope that as adults, even with expensive toys, we would act like adults but we don't. So while I wholeheartedly agree with you, you are pi55ing the wind, espcially with a very large part of this group.

Hmmm.... Mama always taught me I am responsible for my own actions. Perhaps in "your world" this is the case, not mine!

Spectacular!!

Looked like a really good time with good friends.

Wish I had the talent and ball$ to do that!

I would however put, "professional pilot in controlled conditions" to caution the foolish. Like a commercial for, well almost anything that fools can make dangerous.
