@dabb Around 2000 I saw a video of a pilot in, what I recall as a gliding Lear doing just that manouver. I'm probably wrong or else the pilot wasn't Bob. I'll try to find the book about him (didn't know there were any). Wikipedia writes that the engines were restarted after landing.

To have a lot of fun (although an FAA examiner would be pissed) fly a larger airplane, and have some of the seats behind the cockpit removed.
Then, have a person lie down on the floor of the cabin and pull off a barrel roll, there's some fun. Just don't unload at the top!

Bob Hoover? Is he the one doing the 1G roll in a Lear with the engines cut off?

@hrc1966
To my knowledge, (I have read his biography and met him), he did this manouver in an piston engined Aerocommander and never with the engines shut off. That is a misunderstanding. He may have done it as it is no different. But there is no video of him doing this trick with the engines off.
