When doing stunts like flying upside down the wing needs to go into the wind
at a higher attack angle to make up for the lost lift from not having the
Bernoulli forces you get while flying upright. Notice when at an airshow the
plane flying upside down is much more at an angle from the direction line on
which it is flying. What you see is the angle of attack which is much less
obvious when both Newton and Bernoulli are providing lift together in normal
upright flight.
