USN Lt. Commander Craig R. Olson (#5 Lead Solo) and Lt. Commander Ted Steelman (#6 Opposing Solo) fly perform a Opposing Minimum Radius Turn in their F/A-18C 'Hornets'.

After rejoining, the Diamond resets for another series of high-g maneuvers--the Tuck-Under Break, Barrel Roll Break and the Low Break Cross. The first is "really Trust and Confidence. No. 2 and 3 are doing blind, 90-deg. break turns at 7.5g, and Boss breaks hard left, [also] pulling 7.5g," Shortal recaps later. "We're all trusting each other to roll out on the right heading." That's an understatement. If someone screws up here, some blue-and-yellow aluminum's going to get seriously scratched and dented. -[Aviation Week]
