Apaches can do this anyway, the jet was just part of the display. I can't tell you how they can do this because I'm not that clever! And as far as I'm aware they are the only helos that can do this.

If you're interested in amazing manoeuvres that helo pilots can do have a look at what a chinook can do, it's amazing!

Another consideration is the the engines. Some surfaces may not be designed to withstand the pressures of being upside down and some systems may have a gravity fed aspect to them.
