I always had a soft spot in my heart for girls named Svetlana.

She's got her head on swivel and knows where she is at all times, it would be interesting to see the maneuver from outside of the plane.
the smile and twittling of her fingers at her nose is to say that's all there is to it easy peasy

This isn't the same show, but I'm sure that the maneuver is in here somewhere.

To me it's more impressive to see the pilot during acrobatic flying than to watch from the ground. It's easy to forget how little they can see. If I ever got to ride in a stunt plane or military jet, I'd spend most of the time watching the pilot work their (apparent) magic.

Lol. Mine was Tatiana. She didn't have a plane, but very aerodynamic. . .

Great way to test that your breakfast is consumed. My very first flight was as a guest with an airtraffic controller/flight instructor who after a while of flying over the idillic, picturesque North Stradbroke Is. asked if we'd like to do some aerobatics & we said "yes please". I held it all together but nearly lost it when he handed over the controls to my buddy and I'm not sure the "turbulance" was in my stomach, mouth, or the twin engined 4 seater.LOL...........................now.
