I was at the previous years show and that hot-dog pilot did maneuvers with a "52" that were fighter-like, and had my jaw-dropping. Real omg sh
t stuff.
But he was doing them much higher than the "last" one, which viewing the vid again reminded me on how low (too low) he was at the start, and the "52" just doesn't have the horse-power to pull off a radical low-level maneuver.
Has the attached article describe one guy tried to get out but the ejection seats in the 52 back then weren't zero-zero seats so there just wasn't enough time/altitude to get out.
