It's the top half that will kill you.
You are right there fantom. A couple of us were the closest people to 'that' Typhoon loop at RIAT. Between us, maybe 60 years of watching displays and as he started to pull over the top we both turned on our heels and ran, quite sure that we would hear an awefull noise and feel the heat. We didn't, thankfully, but even before he had reached the critical point we just knew it was going to end in tears. We were about 20' out in our estimationand the pilot walked away.
