These guys are awesome. It's precise sim based aerobatics with appropriate music. The video is IL2, using custom repaints and just brilliant.

It's on You Tube here or take a look at this Thread, scroll down to the download links added by FW Fox.

I get computer pilot mag each month and they had an article on online aerobatics and this russian crowd actually go around on the airshow circuit now doing virtual displays and have it set up just like the thunderbirds and red arrows etc with all the training just like the real thing!

There's an Italian team that also do this stuff - very demanding training schedules, you have to wonder what they do for a living!
Any aerobatics-rated pilots around here?

Wow great video!

Not myself, but the Andrew Hope who recently took me up for a spin in ZK-CIT is!

It is a great feeling, being as light as air then as heavy as lead as you pull through the G-forces.

Have a look at my video that I recorded from the front seat of CIT as we performed a loop the loop manoeuvre here: http://youtube.com/watch?v=2udHrZPVJLA
