Great guy, and he pulled off one hell of a stunt back there with the
prototype Dash 80! We always kidded him about it looking like a "whale"
roll!!! :-))

Hey Dudley,

Speaking of whales... D'ya think the structure (spars?) on the A380
would hold up to a barrel roll? Airbus could use some positive press
for that program right about now. That'd be even more spectacular than
the photos of the A380 four-ship from last year!
