The Bomb Burst

This maneuver is normally performed with four or five aircraft, but you can get the feel of it with two.

Two planes start at opposite ends of the reviewing area. (1)
Fly towards each other head-on. As you get close to each other, both pull up into a 90-degree climb (straight up), belly to belly. (2)
On the leader's command both pilots pull back on the stick until the inverted position is reached, then roll out into normal flight. (3)
