[NSRCA-discussion] Off topic-747

[Koenig, Tom]

Thanks Bill-I actually was hoping you would shed some light on this. I always enjoy listening to your experiences.

Looks like the 747 roll may never have happened after all-at least as far as we know!

Thanks chaps.

Never heard of that, but I definitely know of one (747) that did a Split-S and went through the mach--the Captain put the gear out, and saved the plane by slowing it down.  He lost the gear doors, and each gear door tookof about 6 feet from each  end of the horizontal stabilizer.  I saw the plane in SFO while it was being repaired.
Hope they did a real good check of the main and sub- spars.

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
