Dave,

This is actually an extremely low-level version of a maneuver called "Walking The Dog." This video shows an F-16C doing the same stunt, but at a little higher altitude. You almost have to see it in person to appreciate the skill this takes.

a couple of those marushin scale engines had turned up on ebay some time ago. i seem to recall the last one took no bids at about $3k/. really cool though.

}{arlequin, That is done on take off roll by the solo...

He jets down the runway and gets airborne, sucks up the gear
and when he is at the end of the runway he snatches the jet straight up. If he does it good enough the dirt on the runway with get blown in the air like a cloud of smoke.

Dr Ray Stantz: You know, it just occurred to me that we really haven't had a successful test of this equipment.
Dr. Egon Spengler: I blame myself.
Dr. Peter Venkman: So do I.
Dr Ray Stantz: Well, no sense in worrying about it now.
Dr. Peter Venkman: Why worry? Each one of us is carrying an unlicensed nuclear accelerator on his back.

Ha! I assume thats the same photo of Lenny shown here... http://www.miramarairshow.com/hires_photos.htm

I went to college with him. Ridiculously good guy. I know at one point he had to leave the Blue Angels because of some seizure or something... really curious as to what happened to him.

What blows my mind about those guys is that they don't wear G-suits.
