REMINDS ME OF THE COMPLEX FLIGHT MANEUVER BY AMATEUR PILOT THAT FLEW PLANE INTO PENTAGON
How Russell acquired those skills is still unknown. A long-time professional pilot told The Daily Beast: “He had considerable flying skill, he wasn’t just a mechanic.”
Eyewitnesses recorded aerobatic maneuvers for which the 76-seat Q400 was not designed to make, and if performed without skill, could have resulted in the airplane breaking up in the air.
“Both his loop and his roll seemed pretty well executed,” said the pilot, “without either stalling or pulling the wings off.”

FROM FLIGHT 77 ON 911
Hani Hanjour, took a 757, with zero time in type, did a 400 knot 330 degree spiraling dive at 2500 fpm, only gaining 30 knots, then 30 knots more descending from 2200 feet at full power, with a very steady hand as to not overshoot or hit the lawn, inside ground effect, at 460 knots impact speed.
My conclusion is, the maneuver looks possible, for A GOOD PILOT. But for Hani? unlikely. He either got REALLY lucky, or someone/something else was flying that plane.
