WATCH: Stunt Pilot Previews Lake Minnetonka Air Show

Stunt pilot gave WCCO reporter Natalie Nyhus a preview of this weekend's air show.

Nyhus' pilot took her for loops, spins, and a barrel roll to show off what his and other planes at the July 4th event will be doing. He also let slip just how aerobatic pilots like him keep doing all those stunts without throwing up—they clench their butt muscles to stop blood from rushing to their heads.

The free Lucas Oil Air Show kicks off Thursday night at 8:15 p.m.
