Hey Bruno - I'm so sorry for your trouble and dumbfounded, too.

Military pilots are competent at some level of aerobatics and are not bound by the FAA the way civilian pilots are - ie SAC. At an airshow sanctioned by the FAA, a Statement of Aerobatic Competency card must be presented to the FAA Safety inspectors. A civilian pilot is not permitted to fly aerobatics at any altitude at an airshow without the card.
Sorry Bruno. An innocent mistake.
