that dude also was the test pilot for the boeing 707. In one of his test flights - demonstrating the 707 rather than testing i suppose - he barrel rolled the 707! Just to show it was capable. Ridiculous... I'll see if i can find a clip of it.

"There are old pilots and bold pilots...but there are NO old, bold pilots"

When I used to glide a lot years ago we used to play arround with positve and negative 'g' situations for fun. Put a pencil (or a cig) on the dash and push over just enough to have it float in front of you and try catch it in your mouth. Unfortuneatley due to their wingspan gliders are the best for high speed aerobatics, but rather more slower manouvers but we had a lot of fun doing spins, stalls, chandells and loops ect...I'd love to get back into it but I really don't think my neck injury would allow it anymore. :(
