Your definitions sound correct to me. I haven't see any video other than him pulling up from a dive over the water, and I expected him to crash then (that's when it happens in the old movies anyway).

Oh, I verified my definitions before using them - I'm passingly familiar with the jargon and the actual methodology. I've never done a loop, nor a barrel roll. I have done an aileron roll, however. (I have a few pilot friends and you don't need a license to fly a plane when you've got a licensed pilot with you in the cockpit.)

I'm still pretty impressed with his flight. Just figuring out which switches to use to ensure everything is ready to take off, in a plane like that, is quite a feat.
