I flew (passenger) with the Red Baron stunt team about 15 years ago. They basically showed me what every stunt was like. It was one of the most unforgettable exsperiences I have ever had.

Sure have!

That was the same deal I had with the Ray Ban team. Awesome fun.

Yes I have twice, first time in a Steerman (sp) second time in a CH53 I ***** you not.
Do not ever tell a Marine Pilot that he cannot do something, you all may die doing it
(well so be it) he will try, and he did. I am here to tell 38 years later.

PS. Someone said you could not clime to 10.000 ft with a CH53 guess what, and it took
damn near all day, got to love them Marines.....

Many, many times. Done correctly, that is my absolute favorite maneuver. Cgarr described it best. Done one in your Aeronca Joe?

Wasn't Bob Hoover doing a barrel roll as he poured a glass of tea.?

I got pretty good at partial barrel rolls in my old go cart....

Oh yeah.....!

My first instructor had a Stearman (Boeing) Model 75 - originally an N2S I think.

With just a few hours in my logbook he decided "to show me a few things". Good think I didn't eat lunch that day.

I have never again been so frightened and thrilled at the same time. An open cockpit gives it a VERY different feeling.

Right you are!

The great Bob Hoover tells the story - and the video evidence is shown - starting around 2:06 in this video:
