Anyone done a barrel roll?
 

Sorry if this is a report. Searched, didn't find.

Go to Google.
Type in "Do a barrel roll"

IE doesn't work.

I'm sure this guy has...

In a previous life he flew F-111's...and this one is stunt rated.

(edit) Should have googled before posting this..

Yes.. you were supposed to Google.:D

I did....;)

It's the first thing I learned to do, riding a motorcycle.

I did a barrel roll yesterday.

Last night on my home PC, it didn't work on my phone.

I also learned how to do a proper monkey roll from the master. ;)
(Not last night)

I'm not a pilot but isn't that an aileron roll as opposed to a barrel roll?

More times than I can count... and still love it!

Lobster roll...
 

Lobster (not monkey) roll!

Does making barrel wash count? :)

Yes. I flew in the the Rayban aerobatic plane once. Did em all. Snap rolls, outside roll, hammer, figure 8. Better than sex.

Once in a 172, and it took forever.

A perfectly done barrel roll is not an aerobatic maneuver technically, right? Because you do not excees 1 g positive (in addition to the earth's gravity).

Yes, when racing karts.
I broken shoulder to go with it.

The Barrel Roll is a not competition maneuver. I The barrel roll is a combination between a loop and a roll. You complete one loop while completing one roll at the same time. The flight path during a barrel roll has the shape of a horizontal cork screw. Imagine a big barrel, with the airplanes wheels rolling along the inside of the barrel in a cork screw path. During a barrel roll, the pilot experiences always positive G's. The maximum is about 2.5 to 3 G, the minimum about 0.5 G

But you do exceed the 60 degree bank and 30 degree pitch so it would be an aerobatic maneuver technically

But this guy takes the cake! I love it!

Yes it is acro... remember that we are limited to a certain bank angle (forget what it is, believe 45 or 60 degrees) and past that its acro and you legally should be wearing a parachute...

I was going to say yes but all I did were aileron type rolls.

It was in a Pitts S2A in the early 90's. I also performed loops and hammerhead stalls. The loops and rolls were fun. The hammerhead stalls were unnerving. Shallow dive, pull back on the stick until the horizon moves to 90 degrees, and keep going. Just before you stop, kick the rudder over just before you fall backwards and do a 180 degree turn left to point straight down.

I've done a barrel roll on my snow skies a few times and at least once on my sled :)

...and my dirtbike (broken ribs), ATV (broke hand), mountain bike (stitches), water skis (instant lake enema), fireworks, Bacardi's 151.....:rolleyes:

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.

USS IWO JIMA LPH2
PH2 D.A.Norris
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:
