The KC-97 was an outgrow of the B-29 design and had a straight wing with typical radial engine nacelles. The 367-80 did not borrow engine pods mounted below the wing on pylons or a swept wing from the KC-97. You could have said the -80 borrowed these features from the B-47 if you applied any diligence at all to your research, so I stopped watching after these ludicrous statements.

Actually, a barrel roll is always conducted under positive G. I've done hundreds of them in jets and never pulled less than 1G. If you had zero G on the airplane it would simply roll on its axis and not fly a helical flight path describing a barrel.

@badguy1481 Yes, that would be a very bad barrel roll, but then you are the Bad Guy. I don't think Tex would have even contemplated stopping and pushing inverted while rolling the Dash 80. My point of course, is that keeping positive G during barrel roll is normal and is not difficult.

@anonymousarmadillo6589 And you must be the guy they ask to do something when they don't really care if it gets done right.

@cadetkohr5508 You think pointing out a gross factual error is aggression? Resisting misinformation is aggression? Oh my god what a delicate snowflake you must be.
