    SXM: What is this guy DOING?

    Ladies and gentlemen, this is your captain speaking. We have a small problem.
    All four engines have stopped. We are doing our damnedest to get them under control.

    S-turns or being a real bone head. Could be both.

    No way he's S turning 10 feet off the ground unless he's an idiot... Looks to either be correcting back to the runway (without being there not knowing the circumstances, I'd say looks to be an awful decision), or showboating....

    What if he just wanted to be photogenic?

    Knowing there are hundreds of photographers on the beach, that one would make him famous?

    That's my guess, too. It's all fun and games until your wing clips a passing car or the fence.
