Yeah, that was insane. I saw that on the news, and then though of why the pilot was doing that anyway? FA-18s are known to have the wing dip left or right, when doing slow passes like that (or just a slow pass in general). Or at least, from the C-E versions they are. I can't remember why off hand, but it's something they're not good at. One of their aerodynamic flaws or something?
