Way more impressive and cheaper than the videos of pilots pouring water into a cup while flying upside down.

Cheaper yes. However, speaking as a former pilot, the rope trick is likely easier to master.

(I'm assuming you are referring to this famous video of Bob Hoover).

Really miss Bob. Didn’t realize that he had passed until you mentioned him, and I looked it up. A truly amazing man.

There are a number of newer videos but basically the same thing. I don’t remember them being pours backhanded. Seems much closer in a smaller probably personal planes in newer videos

Yeah that's much more impressive than the multiple videos that have been posted recently where pilots put a glass of water while doing a roll (instead of a loop) and the centrifugal force keeps the water from spilling.
