I'm glad your the expert.

I used to do half of a barrel roll at one G and give to student under
the hood upside down to recover.

Bird of course was acro rated but student couldn't tell we had rolled
inverted and we were pulling 1 G positive when handed over.

No, you can't do a barrel roll without pulling more than 1g.

Did a Boeing Test Pilot barrel barrel roll a 707 over the boat races
on Lake Washington without any damage to aircraft. YES.

No, it wasn't a barrel roll, it was an aileron roll. (At least this is
what I've been told, and it makes a lot of sense.)
