| 839980 | 2009-12-17 01:01:00 | Although, I would have liked to have seen the test pilot do a barrel role as with the first 707 flight in 1955 :D Is that for real ? I would not have thought a civil airliner could stand that sort of stress. I saw one of those disaster flights tv shows recently where a guy attacked the crew and was fighting with them and the pilot made the plane roll over from side to side. That was scary just sitting in my seat. |

The essence is the aircraft doesnt pull more - or less - than 1G in the maneuver, and is perfectly safe. Having said that, I'd rather watch it from the ground and stick to aerobatics in a Victa100. Cheers:clap:clap:clap |

I didnt know Auster were aerobatic. Same in engine in Moth so Mr DH must of had some sort of nrv to stop oil spilling out but I dont know for sure. |
