Chopper was doing some nice stuff, but posting 20,000 frame-by-frame captures didn't seem like a good idea.
So, after a couple of individual shots I decided to try something different:-)

    Hey Nikolai........ wow what a Chopper!
    I saw a chopper doing a dry run pre to the Air Show last year and I was a gasp when I saw it go up in the air and do a full circle...... I thought ohhhhh nooooo he's gonna crash !!!
    I thought choppers couldnt do that ??? but by golly some can :D

    I love the way you have captured the running series Nikolai

    It's a specially enhanced chopper that can pull up to three negative "G"s. He was doing only "-1":-).
    Not too many of such aircrafts in the world, and by far not too many pilots who can do this...
