Helicopter Aerobatics

Helicopters aren’t supposed to do that, are they? At the urging of master pilot Chuck Aaron, this one manages to defy physics and common sense. Aaron’s routine for Red Bull is performed in a Eurocopter/Messerschmitt BO-105 CBS. Since it is classified as an experimental aircraft, Aaron can take it on some wild rides and maintain his license.

Looks astonishing, but it's a shame there wasn't a long-distance shot from a static camera to let us see the aerobatics properly.
