I am pretty confident you cannot do that while being in the air, your boots not being on the ground.. 

Jesus people, chill and read!  It was very much tongue in cheek...

Nice  :backpedalling:

CF-18 Demonstration Team: One flight – two nations

Oct. 10, 2012

By Attila Papp

Captain Patrick “Paco” Gobeil, pilot of the 2012 CF-18 Demonstration Hornet, added to his list of accomplishments over the Labour Day weekend when he flew aerial demonstrations at two separate air shows in two nations in a continuous flight.

“This was a first for us, so it was very important to make it all work,” said Capt Bruce Ehmann, special events coordinator at 1 Canadian Air Division, Winnipeg.

Operating within a mere two-hour window, and with the assistance of a CC-130H Hercules tanker from 435 Transport and Rescue Squadron, 17 Wing Winnipeg, Man., Capt Gobeil represented the Canadian Forces in Toronto and Cleveland, Ohio, during a single flight. And he did it three days in a row.
