If the pilot was pulling a perfect loop Bob-Hoover-style the tog could just have sat there.

Actually maybe the wind would have blown him off; you'd have to factor that in. Maybe a barell roll to port would pin him down a bit more firmly...

I bet the wing was bending.

He had the camera fixed to the wingtip, it runs all the time and will shoot approx 4hrs of shots in HD on a 32gb sd card, definately a nice day for it!

It's a wind turbine with a plane attached to the end to make it look like a ferris wheel.
Cameraman is sat in a deck chair in the middle taking pics.

Clever!

They fit small aircraft to each blade to drive the windmill round when there's no wind.

Apparently the Huhneatic was considering that as an emergency power resource if the wind speed dropped on his "state wind farms"

You did know that many large wind turbines have to be powered by the grid in order to start them or keep them turning in marginal conditions (and even just to make them look like they're working during site visits or whatever)?

You may laugh, but...

Well how else would you grow wind on a wind farm?
