What was the point of this? To show that it was possible? I've seen so many "hot-dogging" videos where it turns ugly ending up in an aircraft being destroyed.

Unless I'm missing something, like this was a necessary maneuver or a safety training or something.

I'm betting theses are for airshows, so yeah, basically hot dogging for the crowd. Most of the maneuvers at air shows are riding the edge of what the plane is capable of, it just happens that they are using a big fooking plane.
