yep just that.

My mom is in the process of getting her pilots license and I've become good friends with the airport manager. He has a 2 seater acrobatic plane and the passenger sits in the front with all the controls and gauges.

After we got up he turned it over to me. It was pretty wild and I didn't cut myself any slack. He said pull back on the stick and I would crank it up and go. I made a 25ft aircraft do a backwards roll in 3 seconds at 4.5 Gs. It took a little bit of steam to get going but I can also say I've "driven" 170mph too.

I have been invited to go again tomorrow and we are working on a way to mount my camera to the cage.

Sweet! I flew Cessnas for a summer a couple years ago, but ran out of time, money and motivation before I got my private. Long story. You should definitely get some video.
