The barrel roll is a standard rejoin manuever when the trailing a/c is too hot. I've never seen it done over a crowd, though!

Yeah looks like it was a little to hot and maybe trying to bleed off air speed in a hurry but not to much and end up falling behined.

I would say that was cool and not very dangerous, kept control, would have been smarter for him to back off though I think and just be late if thats really what happend but again I say he was trying to beeld off air speed and get in formation at the same time.....

Way below min AGL for that maneuver. Not even close to a mishap, and standard procedure, just not at 1500'. It did look GREAT though.

It was worth it. He'll always be 'the guy' who did that.

Anybody who knows how actual ACC formation flying works will also know that it had already been previously planned and practiced before it was performed at the game.
