Narrative:
I was giving dual to my boss in a wwii bomber after a 7 yr rebuild of the aircraft. We had just flown it up from az to show to all company personnel. When leaving I asked the PF if he was going to make a fly-by for photos. He said no. After a normal takeoff with no warning he turned hard to the right before the end of the runway over the corp office. The right turn was held at low altitude for approximately 270 degrees back over the center of the runway with a normal climb out. Normal traffic pattern for that runway is left. There was no traffic conflict, but I was caught by surprise. He gave me no briefing of his intentions.
