Top stuff, Brian. When I joined the Air Force, the front line fighters were F86 Sabres, lol.

Not being a pilot can anyone explain why the pilot was inverting the aircraft on some of the turns. Was it to counteract G forces and keep the blood flowing to his brain or was he just showboating. Does in fact inverting keep the pilot from blacking out? Whatever it was a great example of keeping an aircraft near the deck!

In my college days we used to fly on the computer as a group on "military missions". This guy flies like I do and that is how I got the nickname "wild bill".

According to the write-up appearing to the right of the video the pilot has to go inverted because of high g forces.
