Bermuda Flight Acrobatics by Marcus Schrenker, death faker

Stumble ThisMoney shot @ 2:30 - pretty damn cool.
Okay - this is a bizarre story that makes this guy so interesting: the pilot in this video (recorded in May 2000) is a skilled pilot - and apparently was convicted of defrauding people with his companies recently.
His wife divorced him and he faced a half million dollar fine - so he faked his death by jumping from his plane, and letting it crash on autopilot.
The twist is that he planned the location he parachuted down to - and after one run-in with the police, managed to make his way to a storage unit where he had cached his motorcycle!
The doubletwist is that we have a video of his skilled flying here to share with you today.

Creepy coincidence.
Also, hilarious photo.
"...but what I can say is that this is the douchiest photo ever!
The only people who should be posing for a vanity photo in front of their Lexus and their $1 million Piper PA-36 aircraft are named Jay-Z and Beyonce. And they would have the sense to put some real rims on that Lexus. Bling Bling!"
