So glad I got to see this on the day. Pavel Vlasov demos the MiG-29M OVT thrust-vectoring demonstrator, lots of somersaults and free-falling aerobatics.

Wow! That's amazing. I'll bet the crew used up many boxes of #Depends while learning to fly the plane through all those maneuvers.
@lnxw48a1 The chief test pilot said anyone could be trained to do it..I'm sceptical.
