"Cathy A330 Hover In Mid Air At Air Show"
All aircraft that hover tend to do so in mid-air. They can't hover on the ground, can they? This Airbus did not hover.

The title of the video is something of an exaggeration - it didn't stop (or hover) in mid-air. It did, however, do a slow fly-by, both in airspeed and groundspeed terms.
