Russian

Ha ha ha. Antonov xxyyzz, perhaps? What's with the "teacups" on the windshield bracing? Lights of some sort?

I bet his flight unnerved some drivers!

The kind of plane that's owned by someone who just broke a bunch of FAR's if he's in the US... Kinda looks like it's not in the US though the video quality isn't good enough to tell exactly where it is.

Wilga?

 

[etsisk]

one piloted by an irresponsible jerk?

 

[Pilawt]

Wilga?

Henning's spot on. Compare the windshield braces and side window vents in this photo: http://www.airliners.net/photo/PZL-Okecie-PZL-104-Wilga-35A/1313439/L/

Did anybody else see the pilot giving the bird to oncoming traffic?

"In most parts of the world, this type of stunt would result in enforcement action action against the pilot -- but Russian GA is different. The guy flying this Wilga is a 737 captain and the co-pilot is a Tupolev-154 captain -- with their wives (both flight attendants for the same airline) sitting in the backseat, enjoying the ride!
