He just wants to think that he is in a Hornet. Anyway, that instructor should be scrapped. I no way should you be demonstrating that kind of flying to a pre solo pilot. Someday, that guy is going to try that crap when he is soloing and end up a smoking hole. I would also steer that student away from mountain flying until they are more experienced. And you wonder where those idiot pilots out there come from.
