I once sat on a fire lookout atop a steep mountain beside a little northern 
BC town where the lone local doctor owned a stunt plane.   Some summer 
evenings, he would put on a show over town and relieve the stress of his 
work all at the same time, often diving straight down toward the middle of 
town and then looping and rolling back up all over the place.   The people 
below enjoyed his eccentricity, perhaps not realizing that from my point of 
view a few thousand feet away, and at his elevation, the actions looked more 
like militaristic vengeance and imaginary self destruction.
