I just wanted to post some of my better photographs. I don't really care who consulted.

Tbf there is only one maneuver in the clip that is ridiculous... but I get a feeling there will be more.

Gah, actually the only recent video I thought had "believeable" air combat scenes was actually The Red Baron. It had some wicked manouvers I think would be difficult to pull off, but it also featured way more realistic parts than hollywoodized... Noone on earth can turn a mustang like he did in that movie :p noone. I can't even do that with my 800gram RC electric mustang. No sir.

It wasn't a turn. He was stalling at the top of a loop.

yeah right...

you might have heard of torque at some point in your life, well mustangs come with buckets of it: at the top of a loop a Mustang (christ, even a T-6!) will tend to torque itself out of the upside down position, that tumble on top is mere sci-fi, unless you chopped your throttle on the way up, but then just a moron would do it, because you'd never reach the top, and surely you'd have enough momentum to make a mess of that. The mustang is an energy fighter, not an Extra 300..
