That's AWSOME!!!

And that shot is incredibly crisp and clear! The reflection in the water is great! 8-)

Bonus points if you tap the tip of the tail in the water   8-)

I think the AoA would be too large... (in the negatives, of course).

Thanks for the positive comments!

I was surprised that I could even get it inverted.  I had to start at an altitude of about 6000 agl and lost a lot of altitude in the process.  With that angle of attack I was fluctuating between 75% and 100% power  and had an IAS of between 250 and 300 kts.  And no I did not crash soon after, lol.  I was actually trying to gain altitude so I could un-invert the invert.
