So no one from either of the two owners of the plane previous (mammoth) or current (Qatar) were in control of or owned the plane at the time of the incident. LOL!

Qatar leases most of their freighters. They won't be the owner of this one, even once they get it.

This whole debacle is totally in the hands of the leasing company that purchased the aircraft from Mammoth to lease to Qatar.

Ah, it appears the CEO of the company leasing it is also the owner of the Horseshoe Bay Resort

My favorite part is that airport, owned by the resort, doesn't allow touch and gos or training flights. You know, because of the noise and disturbance and such.

Impressive.

You can do whatever you want, on your last flight.

Except for the poor dude/dudette in the right seat who’s gonna have to explain why he/she allowed this circus stunt and hope not to get fired. We had a couple of those at brown…
Hopefully they filled the voice recorder with “I’m not comfortable with this”, “This isn’t safe..” “You shouldn’t do this..” etc to help CYA in the debrief.

Just a little rant..
Don’t mean to be a Karen or a buzz kill here BUT….Yea, it looks cool and would probably be a lot of fun to do and we all dream of doing it, but I have little sympathy for any Capt who jeopardizes the f/o’s career or public safety by doing a stunt like this (unless you’re Tex Johnson or Bob Hoover of course😜). This could’ve ended very bad with more than just a slap on the wrist. Man, that wingtip was danger close to the ground…😖
 
Never get why pilots do this kind of stupid stuff in these kinds of planes. It’s a fatty airplane. There is absolutely nothing exciting, interesting nor remotely tactical about a fatty airplane. Trying to turn a boring-as-designed fatty airplane into something it is not, through unnecessary maneuvers it’s not optimized for and which have little room for error, is a dangerous fools errand.
