A girl I know told me she went out with an airline pilot the other day.
He told her a "story" about where he was transporting an empty 737
passenger plane to somewhere, on the way he rolled it. My friend seems
to think he is credible. I don't know. . .

I know guys that roll DC-8s. It can be done and there is even old footage of
Tex Johnson (Johnston?) rolling a 707.

Heard a presumably valid story some years ago about a BA pilot being
checked out on Concorde. The Instructor rolled the aircraft one way, and
then got the student to roll it back again in the other direction.
The story came to me from a 'usually reliable source', so I guess it's
valid. Expertly done, a roll should impose no great stress on the
airframe, as was frequently demonstrated by Bob Hoover in his famous
'pouring a glass of water while performing a slow roll' routine.

If I remember correctly, it was John Hutchinson or Mike Bannister,
recounting
being checked out by Brian Trubshaw the test pilot.

Trubshaw rolled it in one direction. He handed over the controls to the BA
pilot
and said "ok, wind it back".

It might have been another "original" BA pilot.

I believe he was trying to get into her pants. Sounds like she bought it.

That's ridiculous! What girl would go out with an airline pilot??

That is true...When I was doing the dating scene and was asked what I did for a
living I told them I was a janitor at the local high school.

Andrew,
Their are a few of our 1500 or so Pilots that I would consider going out
with. Most not a chance.

A Boeing employee once told me that every production aircraft Boeing
has ever made has been rolled.

Certianly don't know how credible that statement is. I have however
seen a photo taken out of the 707 while inverted.

A properly executed aileron roll should not place undue stresses on the
airframe -- all you have to have is a lot of sky.

My first instructor looped a Caravelle (similar configuration to a
DC9) on several occasions during ferry flights (no passengers). How
much airspace does that take up?

Easy enough to check.

Nope! In a properly done loop or barrel roll, the crap would stay
where it belongs.
