Oh SH!!T, I stalled
Is probably what the pilot is shouting in the cockpit of this KT-1B Wongbee, single engine propeller aircraft .
Maybe it's just me but I'd hate to be in a situation like that regardless of it being intentional or not. In this case it's intentional. The pilot and aircraft is part of the 6 members strong squad of the Indonesian Air Force Aerobatics team. This maneuver was performed at the Singapore International Airshow 2018.
I shot this image with a Canon 7D2 at 400mm, f16, 1/1000, iso400. This is my submission to @photocontests vehiclephotography Wednesday and fridayskyblue of the ColorChallenge contest.

Wow awesome capture.. did you just happen to see it?
Well, kind of. I was at the airshow but I didn't know what stunts they were going to perform so I just stand there with camera pointed up. Thanks for stopping by and voting+commenting!
the smoke in the sky is really amazing! Great capture.

I have to agree with your thoughts about the engine stalling on a single engine plane, intentional or not. Pilots who perform in airshows I imagine have done that maneuver dozens if not scores of times and then know how to get out of it successfully. Problem is, they have to be perfect 100% of the time, and so does the plane. It only takes one problem with the motor or the process and it's over. I don't know how much the pilots earn for such stunts, but as much as I like to watch them, I couldn't be paid enough to put my life at risk like that.
