And in a true aileron roll you pull one negative G to hold the point while
inverted. A little tough with an air carrier machine.

I don't know how anyone looking at that tape, who has done the manuevers
we're speaking of, could confuse one with the other. As you've said
Dudley,
the -80 (which I had the pleasure of seeing up close on Mothers Day
weekend)
did not have the roll authority to do an aileron roll. Those little tiny
ailerons couldn't provide enough asymetic energy. Half way through the
crew
would have been looking straight down at Lake WASHINGTON (thanks Pete!).
Now maybe that would have been more impressive, but it would've taken one
hell of an altitude to start and the folks on the ground might not have
been
able to even see the entry. I've "aileron" rolled a large aircraft (
250,000 lbs) a few times but it didn't depend on ailerons for the
manuever.
The B-1B used a split stab for primary roll authority and that was one
huge,
split "aileron" that provided enough energy to roll the aircraft without
the
Split S and the problems that would bring to a large airframe.

Have a pleasant weekend fellas!!
