** The stunt Kate pulls in the same episode is a very dangerous stunt for many reasons. She's flying upside-down for so long is risking her getting knocked unconscious from the negative-g rushing her blood to her head. It also makes her a pretty great target because she's exposing her belly if the enemy is following her roll very closely, which just confirms that the enemy is as crazy as she is to pull the stunt (thankfully, he's not). Getting her plane to the enemy's back is also risky because you need to calculate the roll so your plane is in the right position, how the enemy's going to react to that roll, and how fast you're going to pull your trigger to capitalize the enemy's mistake. This stunt only works because [[IfMyCalculationsAreCorrect Kate is a numberphile]].
