Here is his most recent display of his downright terrifying lack of skill and decision making. His approach starts at ~48:00 and you can hear him voicing over his hare-brained rationale for his subsequent recklessness. He originally uploaded, but later removed, a different version of this clip that included the cockpit view of him breaking out below minimums and then executing a banking -1900FPM dive at roughly 200AGL to land. Here is a link to that original clip, autopilot comes off at 6:00 and it gets scarier and scarier from there, with the piece de resistance right at 7:00. Just look at those needles!!
Holy crap.
That would be an "ok" maneuver in a Piper Cub, or a 150. But in a cabin class twin, that video should warrant a -709 ride from the Feds.
