This pilot pulled off an amazing super loop with a C-130J Super Hercules at an airshow.

Watching a pilot perform at peak level is always impressive, but it is even more spectacular when they do it with a plane that’s large and/or difficult to maneuver.

The Super Hercules isn’t the largest plane in the world – it’s ‘only’ 34 meters in length – but it’s not exactly a nimble and lightweight aircraft either.
