Several years old now but he nearly lost it on the last manoeuvre according to the comments below. Plus it didnt do the airframe much good either.

Pilot must have thought he was in a Pitts. Must have had a death wish unless the aircraft has been modified to strengthen the structure and the engines. Otherwise t would have fallen to bits in the air. We operated DC4s for years and I could not see them doing such flying.
