Cool Vid

But isn't depth of field through telescoping lenses deceiving?

I think somebody said this is a fake. The engine noise does not seem accurate either.

Not real

Hate to say it guys, but the aircraft in the video performed just like an R/C model. How else do you explain the jet being smaller than the Cessna's in the background?

It's an old one I'm afraid. Show-offy pilot at airshow. Also more appropriate in Spotters? I mean that is the obvious place, isn't it?

Has noone accelerated in levelflight, cleaned up and then pulled back into a wingover? It works in GA - just watch the ASI. It works in empty turbo-props and jets as well.
