Oh, I'm certainly not a pilot. Just a lot of experience around aircraft, as well as the benefit of having been both on an aircraft for such a move and watched such stunts many times from the ground at varying angles. Had my hands on private plane's controls, helped pull up stuff like that. Plus, I'm kind of a nerd and research shit a lot, like most of us here.
That said, it's just not something I can see a novice let alone this man pulling off. However stranger things have happened. Just makes literally no sense to me, as the pull out was pretty damn smooth and pretttttty dang low.
Either way, RIP Rich either way. And damn, if he really did that barrel roll.
