Did a search and didn't see anything on this. Hopefully not a repost.

I'm guessing this isn't in the US and the pilot probably won't lose his job because, really, he must have calculated the risk before posting it to social media. Right? RIGHT???

For as smart as pilots can be, we can really be epically stupid.

Haha GoPro, encouraging stupidity and awesomeness since 2004.

I saw a still photo of this earlier today and was 100% convinced it was fake... Now not so much.

Commercial aviation - they'd give him the beat down.
Part 91? Who cares.

Hell, if you're going to do it, at least make it a worthy video. That kind of stunk.

If the camera fell off and went into the engine you wouldn't be able to see the look on his face.

Don't Underestimate the durability of a GoPro!
