The closeness to the ground was what got me. He'd have to be insane to pull that, even if the plane could. It reminded me of the roll the first 707 demonstrator did. But he was much higher up.Quote:

Yeah, it was a very well-done bit of CGI for sure.Quote:

I was wondering how they did that too! Sure looked realistic, enough to fool me and probably most of the other viewers!
