Too bad they have to be flown like buses when we're on board.

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,

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
