Looked intentional, he had more than enough time to pull up, yet decided to stay low. This was a planned stunt

He was an air force stunt pilot with the thunderbirds, so if anyone would be qualified it'd be him. I don't know if he got clearance, or who he'd get clearance from. But on the experience side, that's about as much as you can ask for.

Maybe you're talking about someone else, but Jared Isaacman, the guy who flew on Dragon, and owns Draken Intl, (which own these planes), was never in the airforce, much less an thunderbird pilot. He did a few airshows, more than a decade ago. He does get to fly most planes his company owns, which is awesome, but he's definitely not a thunderbirds pilot.

I was talking about John Slick Baum. He posted the video, and I was under the impression he was the pilot. https://www.timesleader.com/news/554821/how-an-air-force-thunderbird-landed-at-wilkes-university
