Do you think Air Force One can do a barrel roll?

**JC Maldini** · 04-28-2009, 03:18 PM

Dunno, but it can scare the crap out of people here around NYC!

**MaDalton** · 04-28-2009, 03:19 PM

at least once

...the 707 can do it (remember the demonstration flight?), the 747 (okay, more fuckin weight) can do it as well. Keep it at 1G if you can, it's possible I believe.

maybe some more pilot forumers can shed some light on this!

I suspect it could? But glad I won't be on the flight. Bet most of the time, folks aren't buckled in on AF-1. Some socialist might spill his drink?

I wouldn't want to be on it if they try.

dude I fuckin' would

but strictly in the front-left seat...

With enough altitude it could. The pilot would probably need to ease the nose down as it rolled to maintain airspeed and not stall but I'm sure it could.

**LiveDose** · 04-28-2009, 06:02 PM

I would love to watch that from the outside...

Ever see the interview with the pilot who did it? His boss chewed him out. Asked him what he thought he was doing. He replied "selling planes" and went on to explain that it was a 1G manouveure.

"You know that. We know that.. Just don't do it again"

nice no risk maneuver, lol

**Mr Pheer** · 04-28-2009, 08:34 PM

Yes, it can. A 747 has plenty of power to spare and a barrel roll is a positive-g maneuver.

**baddog** · 04-28-2009, 08:36 PM

Since any Air Force plane the President is on is considered Air Force One, without a doubt.

**bbobby86** · 04-29-2009, 01:32 AM

yes yes yes...

Do you think Air Force One can do a barrel roll?
