That was some of the best flying I've seen to date - right up to the part where you got killed.

Our reading
An editorial interpretation.
The praise lasts only until the final qualification. 'Some of the best flying' sounds like a triumph, then 'the part where you got killed' overturns it. The humour comes from delivering that enormous objection almost as an afterthought to an otherwise favourable review.
