Re the C99... and I quote:

Subsequently, the flying pilot said, "I bet it would be real easy to just take it right on over." The pilots then discussed rolling airplanes. At 23:49:52, the flying pilot referred to his experience rolling Cessna 152 and 172 airplanes, and said, "...I guess we've got enough speed right now. And you just kinda start coming in like this, pullin up ... and keep positive Gs on it. Take it all the way around, unload ... and then point straight for the ground." The recording ended after this last remark, at 23:50:35.

Of course, the C99's not a transport jet. Perhaps TheGorrilla has a point and it IS safer in a transport jet and 411A IS foolish. Of course, 411A IS old, experienced, and alive. so perhaps HE has a point. Go ahead and do what you think is right ape-man. Don't forget, take it all the way around, unload ... and then point straight for the ground.
