Dash is upside-down again.

The Boeing 367-80 has been upside-down several times. Test pilot, Tex Johnston, practiced a few rolls in secret. He then rolled the airplane twice over the International Air Transport Association to encourage airlines to buy 707s, (which worked!) Finally, the aircraft once ended up inverted during an uncoordinated stall while testing secondary flight controls. A Split S maneuver was preformed to recover.

I drew this in honor of the 60th anniversary of the rolls over IATA.

Here's a great video about the most famous upside-down stunt: www.youtube.com/watch?v=AaA7kP…
