This C-130 pilot (a one star general) really understands energy management and the limitations of his aircraft. After watching these maneuvers, I can see the maximum positive G loading must not have been greater than 2G (the 60 degree bank) and the power pushovers were down to zero G; all within normal operational limits of a stock C-130J. Notice the absence of the external wing tanks that most C-130s possess. Obviously for this demonstration, the wing tanks have been removed.
Sit back, hold onto your chair, and watch this amazing demonstration!
Make sure to watch the body language of the young co-pilot riding along.
Enjoy,
