I just watched the video on today's front page. First, I know the video was not shot in the US. Second, I do not want to start a discussion about what is safe/unsafe flying. What I want to comment on is people putting things on you tube that can come back to haunt them. If that video had been shot in the US it could have been called exhibit A for the prosecution. The FAA DOES watch you tube. at 2:40 in the video, the pass over the edge of the water, I counted 4 or 5 boats in the water. Had this been a US pilot just putting that on you tube could have resulted in a violation by the FAA. It would be hard to dispute that he was 500 Ft from any person place or vessel. Again, I do not want to call out any pilot, I just want people to think before they post video's of their flying for the world (and the FAA) to see.
