There are some great shots here... I've seen many of these airshow acts live but there are only two in my personal hall of fame.

Bob Hoover flying the Shrike Commander (eight point rolls on the deck into a dead engine)

and the Thunderbirds flying the Super Sabre. The F-16 is a stunning performer and a joy to watch but the -100 was a real thunder bird.

Had to look up Bob Hoover. Found a great YOUTUBE link with him narrating: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TUVWHUR5OEI

Quite an incredible clip. He demonstrates the maneuver and, with a cargo full of military generals, demonstrates rolling the craft while they gens are drinking coffee, and again while he himself pours iced tea into a glass - not a drop spilled - this with the engines OFF.
