This is amazing. They are certainly pushing the envelope on what can be done in an aircraft.

Man, that is some spectacular stuff, Des!  Those guy are the best.  Here, in California, most of our airshows are performed in relatively sparsely populated areas.  There, an accident could wipe out centuries old landmarks.  Gutsy!

Variable pitch rotor blades. When the helicopter is inverted, the angle of the blades are pitched the opposite way to keep downward thrust.

Des, we just had the Blue Angels here (Puget Sound) last weekend, but they look pretty tame by comparison. Thanks for sharing that with us.

Variable pitch or not, there is no way I would want to fly upside down in a helicopter  ???

I the last week we have had the following aircraft fly over our place;

Super Constellation
PBY Catalina
DC.3
De Havilland Caribou

I love the sound of those big radial engines.
