You're welcome Pammy. That last move, I think it's an 'inverted loop' is most probably one of the most difficult maneuvers I've seen/do, mainly because the flight controls are all opposite until you're the right way up, and not to mention all that negative 'G'!

Impressive! Thanks.

Ay' - he is very good at what he does. Is one of the very very few pilots licensed to fly at 30'

There is some other film of him done in the same way as the link you posted with cameras in the plane and him commentating. But it was great to find that other clip. I've sent it to my folks as they see so little of what he does.
