Looks like it.

Lots of fortunate series of events in that video.

There was a DCS fundraiser a while back for Folds of Honor. These are the highlights of the tournament.

While the video looked amazing, Task & Purpose spoke with one USAF C-17 pilot who said the low fly-by was extremely dangerous.

"If the crew's timing is off or if they are slow to react, the jet would collide with a building. Very risky," said the pilot, who wanted to remain anonymous.

He explained in the US, C-17 pilots must fly 1,000 feet above building structures in populated areas. Even during flyovers for sporting events, the transport plane cannot fly below building tops.

"Those Brisbane videos are insane," the pilot said. "We could never do something like that in the USAF. If we did, we would lose our wings immediately — never fly again."

I'm sure, the USAF did already change a lot of airshow policies to stop such things, after a couple of really nasty crashes from over confident pilots. Last one as recent as 2010

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/2010_Alaska_USAF_C-17_crash#:~:text=On%20July%2028%2C%202010%2C%20a,o f%20a%20C%2D17%20aircraft.

Another one was the B52
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/1994_Fairchild_Air_Force_Base_B-52_crash




Looks like the Australian was doing 60 degree banks, which was one of the factors leading up to the 2010 C17 crash in Alaska.
