Was that an intentional move or a major screw up?

^^^^^^ good call gtinmyblood :thumbsup i see that you think just like me :biggrin i thought the same thing when i first saw it too. it looked very intentional to me. after i watched it the first time i watched it one more time before i posted it on this site and if you notice right before he made the turn for that last pylon before he took the dive into the drink there was a slight pause in his flight path when he was in the straight before he made the turn. i think that it was then when he made the decision at the spur of the moment to just let it all hang out after he rounded that pylon. i felt it right at the 1 minute mark right on the nose. this guy fly's by more than the just the seat of his pants he flys with anger and aggression.

"i like that in a pilot" :bow

Absolutely unbelievable.
A couple years back, my buddy who owns Encore Cases here in LA made the cases for that whole series. I delivered the cases up to San Francisco and was able to spend a couple hours with the mechanics and engineers. They let me climb in the cockpit of one of 'em and boy was it tight.
Amazing how quick they can dis-assemble them and get them into their cases.

Anyways, they loaded me up with two cases of RedBull and I drove back to LA..
It was pretty cool
