I saw some jet in 2010 at an airshow in Spangdahlem, pretty sure it was an F-22, transition from flying normally to what can only be described as standing on it's engines and flying through the air, horizontally, belly first. Evidently this was easy enough to be performed directly over the base at a very low altitude. Mindblowing.

"Easy enough"... but wasn't there a case where a pilot lost control doing that stunt, and the plane turned into a fireball just off-base?
