Love it - nothing wrong with that as long as it is performed correctly. Last hurrah! One of the Boeing 707 test pilots rolled it on a press day and was politely asked to never do that again. I also remember seeing a film of a very impressive American pilot who's name escapes me rolling a twin engine passenger plane with one hand on the control column and pouring a glass of water from a jug with the other hand all the way around. Can be done with a steady 1g positive if done right.

That video looks like various angles stitched together, I wouldn't be comfortable saying it definitely did a barrel roll. A shame it's now grounded but these things can't go on indefinitely especially at this cost.

It looked like it was nearly into a roll on this video:

ddmonkey, a Concord pilot did that whilst pouring coffee from the china they used.

*sigh*

End of an era. Welcome to Ryanair...

Anyone else think this thread was about binners lunch time trip to Greggs?

As for the pilot, well you would be tempted wouldn't you.
