Tex Johnson did a barrel roll in a 707 just to show off, it's a one-G maneuver so as long as you have altitude to recover you can do it in basically any fixed-wing plane.
This isn’t awesome. This is a poor guy who needed more help from his friends family and others around him. He probably enjoyed his last moments but he was beyond the point of no return. I feel sorry for him. RIP.
Just sad. He probably planned to go out with a bang but at least he took care to not hurt anyone. RIP Beebo. Someone even erected a homemade memorial on the island near the crash site.
The story behind this is truly sad. Listen to the ATC recordings. It's wrong what he did, but you cannot help feeling sympathy for him at the same time. He was simply a good guy that was pushed to his breaking point and went for the ride of his life before committing suicide and not harming anyone in the process.
"The hell this guy doing?"
Living the dream, bro.
If someone told me a Dash8 could do a barrel roll without breaking up I wouldn't believe it...

Except some insurance companies bottom line lol
Fly high Sky King
Would love to know how close he came to the VNE speed during his entire flight?
VNE has some wiggle jiggle brutha
Long live the Sky King. ❤️
RIP Sky King
damn he did a loop da loop there that wasn't a barrel roll. either way i didn't know the Q400 could do that and not have the wings snap off
Then what is a barrel roll? I'll wait...
That’s a barrel roll my friend. You’re thinking of an aileron roll. Common misconception.
Looks like he flew a Q pattern!
RIP SkyKing [*]
The camera man didn’t know that it was hijacked
Awesome.....😍😍
