2005 routines include new features. Now, the flat spin is performed with complete circle with rudders for 360. Also for the first time the Double Colbit maneuver is shown.

Wow. I know nothing about flying but even I know this is some incredible stuff. It's gotta take some serious skill to get a fixed-wing aircraft to virtually stop in mid-air. Amazing.

That's a Sukhoi Su-30 MKI, if anyone was wondering.

Aah, Russians have always been great at aeroplane maneuverability. I would so love to have one of those, and a su-27.

The manouvre @1:33 is called the "Cobra Manouvre" - As far as I can remember the first jet was the Su-27 which could fly it. You override the Fly-by-wire system while doing such things.

yeah, but the plane is at that brief moment esentialy a flying brick, is it not?
