I don't know the name of the pilots, but the display routine that sticks out in my mind was performed at the Wings of Eagles Air Show in 1996 (Batavia). I saw a Grumman F7F Tigercat doing barrel rolls down the length of the flight line. The cool part was there was an Grumman F-14 Tomcat in tight formation the whole time just off to the side and aft of the Tigercat. Seeing formation barrel rolls with these two very different aircraft from different eras was amazing. I had to pick my jaw up off the ground after watching that!
And then there was the time...
