    I am trying to understand how I've never seen another Hornet do these maneuvers. I think I read about the Swiss Hornets getting software updates that remove AOA limits, but I'm not sure. Can all Hornets do these maneuvers, but they just aren't showcased properly? Our Canadian Hornets have never done such maneuvers in an airshow.
