The vid is slowed down during the slow-flt...  Watch the rate at which the umbrella flaps in the wind, before, during, and after the slow flight pass.  The umbrella flaps very slowly during the slow-flight pass.  Also, the camera shake is slowed down during the slow flight pass.

Everyone I know, goes away, in the end.

You are right.  High power, high aoa...that's how you do it.

Fate whispers to the warrior "You cannot withstand the storm" and the warrior whispers back "I AM THE STORM"
