@andgate2000 stall isn't a matter of speed, it's a matter of angle of attack. The cobra maneuveur that the SU-27 does, is a stall. But it happens at over 500mph. He went passed 90 degrees because the inward wing stalled before the other. He leveled out lately because he deflected the ailerons to the right stalling the wing even more until he decreased angle of attack by releasing the pressure on the stick. And being over 90 degrees doesn't mean down, just means upside down. Hope it's clear ;-).

Doesnt look like he stalled..because he had enough speed and airflow to level out......he just went passed 90 degrees....which meant down.

No that is called G stall,The stall speed of an aircraft increases as the wing loading increases. To be precise the stall speed increases with the square root of loading so if an aircraft stalls at, say, 60mph in 1G level flight in a particular configuration it'll stall at 120mph at 4G, 180mph at 9G etc. (This is one reason why "stall speed" can be a misleading term - a wing stalls at a given angle of attack.) perfectly explained by Martin Price
