He accidentally busted
mach 1 just as he passed the grandstand.

Yeah, suuure it was accidental! I watched an F-14 do the same thing, only
about
3000 feet over the beach in Corolla NC last October. He pulled up and
over,
onto his back, and then rolled level. Is that a split- S? Anyway, before
he
headed back north, I heard a BIIG Double BOOM, and he was... Gone. I was
on
the top deck of the rental house, cheering!

It sounds like an Immelman. A wings level, climibing 180 degree turn with a
half roll at the top to right side up.

A Split S begins in level flight, half roll to inverted with a wings level
pull through to level flight going the other way. Sort of the opposite of
an Immelman
