It's not cool to answer a question with a question I'm told. But here goes anyway.

Why the hell not?

Thats cool.

Wonder if he pushed hard sideways if he could make it crash....

Doubt I could do that even with practice.

What really impressed me was the pilot of the airplane.

Hearly Farkle,

I wonder how close the tail was to hitting the runway after he released?

@ 17 seconds offers under a foot n' half?

My thoughts too, a split second hesitation in forward or back & thump, sky grass sky grass. Do the controls work backward when your upside down? My only experience of planes comes with movies & meals.

same...throw in a couple of airshows and a general interest in plane and basic knowledge of controls..

I assume (read: guess) that Pitts Specials are not the most stable aircraft either due to their aerobatic nature.

Kudos to the pilot also !!

BTW is it a Pitts? Looks like one from that angle.
