Doesn't really look like the tail is even flying - just being carried up and over by ... momentum? thrust?
I think the thrust is coming way up at the end of Camera 2 (although the apparently increasing heat signature may just be an illusion created by the changing view angle), and the pitch angle begins to diminish rapidly as he moves off-screen to the left.
