You can find videos of this Thunderbird pilot on the 'net. From all angles, including in-cockpit. (I've posted links to them here before, in fact).

Story I heard goes as follows: pilot rolls-out, takes off, enters loop, hits the tarmac due to uncalibrated altimeter and high-altitude airport. Pilot survives.

.... leaving $20 million dollar hole in the ground.
