Hell yeah. I'd love to see the work the pilot is doing to keep it so nose-high during take-off.

Clearly the right man with the right tools. Takes a specially-designed plane and a superb pilot to pull that off. I don't even want to know what the G-forces involved are, either.

Takes a ton of practice too. I sat with some guys once, as they were going through their routine (in the bar). They were reciting every part of their display, it was very impressive. And a little sad.

It's a scary ride when you are a passenger in a 2-seater, as it's hard to brace yourself at the right times.

I've watched video of the Red Arrows guys doing that. It looks most odd.
