Helicopters that can pool loops

[Phoinix]

Seeing this picture on Airliners (http://www.airliners.net/open.file/1295251/L/) i was wondering which helicopters are capable of pooling loops or barrel rool... leagaly.

I have seen apache, lynx and bolkow doing those manouvers, and offcourse that 407 - not so leagal.

Any other helos like that?

I would stick my neck out and say that any non-teetering head aircraft can loop and roll if flown correctly. Whether it would be safe, airframe stress related, or legal is another thing.

Here's a clip of a CH53 rolling and looping:

Right, thank you, forgot about that one.


I have never heard of a Dauphin pooling that kind of manouvers.
