When I was young I was totally entranced by airplanes, and one of my very fond memories was seeing Bob Hoover put a Rockwell Shrike Commander high wing twin turboprop through its paces, including the "shut off the engines and do aerobatics" thing.
MetaFilter thread about trying to find a post with impossible jet maneuvers brought up this old BBC video of Bob Hoover pouring iced tea during a barrel roll (YouTube), in which he observes that the hard part was pouring the iced tea back-handed.
