On Soggy Saturday (July 22, 2006), at the FIA2006, I filmed the A-340 Super Cigar-Tube doing an impressive alley-oop up into the clouds.
It had about a 30 degrees nose up attitude as it vanished, and then emerging out of the clouds at about the same degrees nose-down, headed towards Terra-Firma as it set up for landing.
Here is a link to the short video...what an impressive display! Check it out:
