Sam, Explain a little of what the pilot was specifically performing ?????

It's called "cloud chasing" "rat racing" or "the puffy kingdom." High-G vapor trails show up much better in moist air near the clouds so you get the cool effect when you pull on the stick. Note how his oxygen mask droops when he pulls into the Immelman (half-loop). Probably 6-ish Gs on that pull.
