What do the pilots here think of this?  His statement sounds like absolute bullshit.  He came into the airport like **** and continued to fly like **** all the way to the ground.  I didn't see any small aircraft or any excuse to fly like that, that close to the ground.  What a waste, that plane appears to be a write off.

His plane - he can crash it if he wants I guess.  But I think Pilot Error was attributed as the cause.  But he appeared to be showing off a bit.

As one commenter said - "Welcome to the 'more money than sense' club Jack!"

Special maneuver for the wealthy so they can get to the crash site in time? Guys got enough money for a jet, could learn a lot from some time in a J3 cub.

 

The difference is you don’t walk away from something like that in a J-3

Flat hatting to a missed approach. I thought for sure he would have just kept lifting and taken it around the pattern for a second look.

Who climbs 100' and then attempts a second landing on the same pass?

In truth, Roush has planted a few airplanes.  From Wikipedia article:

Roush at Las Vegas Motor Speedway in 2015

On April 20, 2002, Roush almost lost his life when his private plane, an Aircam, went down in a lake in Troy, Alabama. Roush was underwater and unconscious, suffering from a concussion, when Larry Hicks, a retired Marine in a nearby boat, rescued Roush from under water, pulled him to safety, and administered CPR. Shortly afterwards, Roush was flown to UAB Hospital in Birmingham, Alabama, where he was treated for a head injury, broken ribs, and a shattered left leg. Hicks was injured as a result of the rescue, suffering cramps in both his arms and first degree chemical burns on his body from the fuel.[18]

On July 27, 2010, Roush crashed his Hawker Beechcraft Premier 390 jet (registration N6JR) during an approach to the Experimental Aircraft Association (EAA) AirVenture Fly-In in Oshkosh, Wisconsin, in the late afternoon.[19] He walked out of the plane and was taken to a nearby hospital.[20] His condition was listed at serious but stable that evening. On August 3, Roush was upgraded to fair condition.[20] On August 13, Roush made his first at track appearance since the incident at the Michigan International Speedway. During that time he confirmed that he fractured his back, broke his jaw, and lost his left eye as a result.[21] The National Transportation Safety Board attributed the cause of the crash to pilot error, specifically, "pilot's decision not to advance the engines to takeoff power during the go-around, as stipulated by the airplane flight manual, which resulted in an aerodynamic stall at a low altitude."[22]
