I may have been a little late to see these, but if you haven't seen them, you should check out these Youtube cockpit videos of Svetlana Kapanina doing her routine:

The second one contains split shots of the cockpit and what the plane is doing at the time. In addition to mugging for the camera, she appears to be having a casual conversation on the radio at times all while throwing the plane around the sky. When I was done watching them I had to pick my jaw up off the floor.

Very interesting - thanks for sharing. Interesting that in the first one she looks very serious and almost detached. In the second she's smiling and looks like she's really enjoying the flight.

So unusual to have camera inside on the actual pilot and not the actual aerobatic maneuver.

Shared this with my wife who is a pilot, she commented on kapanina's "ponytail" seeming to float during certain maneuvers.

kapanina is world class pilot.
