That is an amazing piece of flying.
There is a saying that "a good pilot flies all the way to the ground, even if the wings are torn off"
How He recovered from the initial spin is extraordinary in itself, holding the hammerhead to the ground is astonishing!

It's an advertisement. Digital effects for KillaThrill which is a German clothing company. It even has Killa showing on the remaining wing.

At Wright-Patterson AFB, December 1993 I met Retired Gen Paul Tibbets and his wife.
I was waiting for my annual Flight Physical and I see this very dignified older woman sitting across form me.
I'm in Flight Suit.
She quietly smiled at me.
Then, the door opens and I see retired General Tibbets walk out form his "General checkup?"
I recognized him, shook his hand and they then left and drove home top Columbus OH, where they resided.

I truly do not know if you all fully understand what I do out here at Edwards AFB.

KC-46
F-16
C-17

B-1
B-2
U-2
Global Hawk
Predator

This was a real neat "Bird"
I saw it take off and land many times
(The entire Flightline operations would cease when this launched and landed)
Sadlyit ended up crashing

No Jimi,
The Albatross didn't fly here at Edwards, not that I can recall BUT Paul Mcready's Centurion did, here at NASA Armstrong (Edwards AFB)
Paul McReady designed the Gossamar Albatross AND the Centurion
I saw it around 1999 or 2000
