Greetings gents,

W.r.t. the thread...the only machines that I have personally seen doing any form of aerobatics where back in S.A where I saw my instructor do consecutive roll's in a BK117 and on another occasion I was witness to the ROOIVALK doing a barrel roll followed by a loop.This is part of it's demo that it does at airshows all over the world. Also included in it's demo is a 60 -70 knot climb out..backwards !!! and a demo of sideways flight at the same speed...

Not to shabby huh ?

Interesting thread by the way.

Cheers.
