The amazing thing abut that is that the aircraft never new it was upside-down. It was a perfect 1G roll (no change in the gravity vector). It was impressive to see, though not so once the physics are understood. "Tex" Johnson was "suspended" (he ws reinstated after promising never to do it again) for doing something "that dangerous", but the Dash-80 (the
707 prototype) didn't care a bit.
