Re: Loop

I concur that it's often difficult to exactly understand what one's looking at in this type of shots as one doesn't have any reference (aka "where's the horizon") but I believe it actually was a "reverse half Cuban Eight" which is described as:

from level flight pull up to about 45 deg, half roll, downward 5/8 loop back to level flight
