No person may operate an aircraft in aerobatic flight—

(c) Within the lateral boundaries of the surface areas of Class B, Class C, Class D, or Class E airspace designated for an airport;
(d) Within 4 nautical miles of the center line of any Federal airway;
(e) Below an altitude of 1,500 feet above the surface; or
(f) When flight visibility is less than 3 statute miles.
For the purposes of this section, aerobatic flight means an intentional maneuver involving an abrupt change in an aircraft's attitude, an abnormal attitude, or abnormal acceleration, not necessary for normal flight.

Also, some of this seems to be from the distortion caused by a telephoto lens ... it makes things appear more compressed, or in this case, possibly more nose high than they actually are.

It's real. The camera angle from the helicopter for the take off shot makes it look a lot steeper than it actually was. Roughly almost 30 degrees nose up. light fuel weight and no interior. Also to address the 'lack' of wing flex, watch the outboard ailerons up-rig during the 60 degree bank to help keep them 'down'.
