Test pilot Tex Johnson rolled a 707 in an early demo flight..

Google the event, there is lots of info about it.

No idea on a 747, but I expect it is a myth.

Hi Chaps,
 
My apologies for the subject, but we are in huge debate over what just may be an urban myth!
 
I realise there are a few ex airline pilots amongst this list. Have any of you ever heard of a 747 doing an intentional full roll??
 
I was under the impression that a 747 200 engineer had told a group of us that this feat had indeed been accomplished. I am just defending this particular story…..but it was so long ago that perhaps my nitro fried brain is recalling this story incorrectly!!
 
Any one know of this ‘myth’??
 
Thanks guys
