Business Insider/The Aviationist: An F-35 demo team pilot was caught on video showing off some awesome new moves

* An F-35 demonstration team pilot was recently caught on video showing off previously-unseen maneuvers during a suspected practice session.
* The videos show Capt. Andrew "Dojo" Olson pulling off moves like a 360-degree flat spin in an F-35A at Luke Air Force Base near Phoenix, Arizona.
