Default Vids from Oshkosh

On the speed channel show, Sean Tucker does this amazing hover with his bipe, camera angle appaers to have him about 150 feet up, at the highest. You can watch the elevator, rudder and aileron inputs for each of his "corrections". The two announcers almost wet themselves over that. He just held it there for about 15 seconds or so. perfectly stationary, nose high about 80-85 degrees. They have alot of great on-plane, and in cockpit angles on all the aerobatic pilots, including a helmet cam on sean tucker.
Another cool moment in the speed channel show, is when they show a guy doing aerobatics with his lear 23 (serial #9 off the assembly line). After about a 2500 foot run to gain airspeed on takeoff, as soon as he can rotate, he pulls the stick up, and then bangs it hard right, rolling the lear. He's doing this AS hes pullin the gear up, the gear is still out when he rolls over inverted. That dude has some serious stones as well.
