That F-18 clip is kinda special isn't it? Such a grunty plane.
Great find, Marty, I almost wish you'd stay flightsimless a little longer...
Check out the Blue Angels that follows:

Na-val Avy-atorrs...not pilots.
Those guys have the Right Stuff.
That sit up and beg is actually quite a low-g manoeuvre as the airspeed is way down, maybe 150kts.
High-g isn't as exciting for the spectator as it tends to be high speed too, and moves out of frame too quickly.
