Video of a close call with a stunt airplane has received thousands of views since someone posted it on YouTube on Monday.

The video shows a stunt airplane owned by Lancaster-based Viper Airshows nearly slamming into a person with a camera on the runway of the Lancaster Municipal Airport.

Someone on an all-terrain vehicle can be seen riding around in the background.

Efforts to reach the pilot of the plane were unsuccessful as of Tuesday night.

Lancaster City Manager Opal Mauldin-Robertson said the pilot has an aerobatic waiver with the Federal Aviation Administration that allows him to perform practice routines for his stunt shows at the airport, provided he does so during the day in good weather, stays within specifically outlined boundaries and follows other safety measures.

"As long as he's in compliance with what's required of him in the FAA waiver, he doesn't need to come in and say, 'I'm going to do a practice run,'" she said after viewing the video.

Mauldin-Robertson said she confirmed Tuesday that the pilot's special waiver was still current. She questioned the role of the photographer and the person on the ATV, but said she would reserve any judgment or comment until a trained eye could see the video and speak directly with the pilot.

"We are reaching out to the FAA and making them aware that it has been brought to our attention, and we'll rely on their judgment and their decision making related to the activities," she said.

Mark Divita, the airport manager, said he spoke with the pilot Tuesday. He said the pilot posted the video on the Internet to drum up attention and promote his upcoming stunt shows.

It was not immediately clear who posted the video, which does not appear on Viper Airshows' YouTube channel.
