Thats what you call the tail slide Matt using the power of the engine to keep you up there, on the drop down towards the ground he kicks the rudder which then allows him to gain momentum again..

but he was only about 100ft off the ground!... pointing up and travelling horizontal!

The pilot uses the hand brake to get the tail to slide!

I saw Brian Lecomber do this in the Pitts Special at Biggin Hill a few years ago - dropped it tail first for several hundred feet before kicking it over and recovering. You could hear 15,000 people stop holding their breath at once!

we had the red arrows this year

[Cmar]

Was at the red bull air races in cashel in ireland this year. It was a wet day but the way the pilots flew those planes was unbelievable. up to 200mph about 25ft off the ground through inflatable plyons!!!
