Stupid pilot tricks redux

About two years ago, I wrote about stupid pilot tricks. Basically the discussion centered around the high percentage of accidents caused by "maneuvering" (for example buzzing your friends...) as well as just giving general aviation a bad name. Although I would classify the ATC recording of the this "pilot's" (I put pilot in quotes, b/c I'm not really sure he is one) interactions with the controller, humorous, I'd say actually it's rather embarrassing. Really, it is just beyond belief that he actually thought it would be cool to land on a beach...on Long Island!

"ROGAAAAH!"
