None of the links worked for me, but I was able to go to Youtube and view a bunch of videos there. Thanks for pointing this out.

Looks a bit nervy, with little and frequent bank changes....., particularly towards the end of the clip.

As anyone would be I imagine!
That thing's the size of an airliner.
A bit different to poling around the loop in something smaller and faster I would have thought.

In answer to my own question I found this - perhaps not a true run through the Loop but impressive nonetheless.
