Has anyone else seen the video of the 707 doing a barrel roll. The test
pilot on his own did this maneuver when Boeing was showing off the plane
to potential customers. He knew the plane could do this maneuver, but
knew he would not be given permission to do it from management. He did it
once, turned around and did it again.

One key to the barrel roll is you are using aircraft pitch a lot to get
the nose around. Many airplanes with sluggish roll can do a barrel roll,
even though they can't do an aileron roll.
