Too bad they have to be flown like buses when we're on board. [/ QUOTE ] If anyone has seen the footage of the first 707 test flights you will agree. The test pilot was fired for doing a barrel roll in one. This footage was seen on the cable series "Wings" several years ago. Who would think an airliner could do a slow roll. Great shot Jeff! Rick

Rick,
I did see that footage some years ago on wings as well. Doing a barrel roll in a fighter is one thing, doing one in a 707 is a hell of a lot trickier. BTW, if you goof, you got nowhere to go but the scene of the crash. ![]() Steve
