US Navy "Blue Angels" F/A-18E 'Super Hornets' Solos perform the 'Section High Alpha Pass' maneuver.
Photographed from 18th Street and 19th Avenue N., Fargo. (NDSU Reseach & Technology, parking lot)

'Section High Alpha Pass' maneuver: Both aircraft slow to approximately 120 KCAS abeam each other. At approximately the center point position, both aircraft will clear simultaneously. #6 will clear with a slow pitch up to 60 deg then a left roll to inverted, followed by a right 90 deg roll then clear behind the crowd above 1000’ AGL. #5 will clear straight ahead and level. This maneuver can be flown from either direction, depending on prevailing wind.
