It's always a risk when doing un-needed maneuvers i.e. victory passes. What if, during one's roll over the airfield, his controls fail. He'd plunge to the airfield, killing himself and in bad case, others too.
Not his fault, the systems on board the aircraft failed. A highly unlikely scenario since there are multiple redundancy systems installed on modern commercial jets. We are talking about one of their most experianced pilots here too, I think hes well up to flying something that low. :p
