That middle pic was taken when Boeing’s chief test pilot did an aileron roll in one of the original 707 test birds, I believe.

Being a Boeing machine, the maneuver probably didn’t even come close to the plane’s limits.

Neat! However, the good old T-38 could do two rolls/second with full sidestick deflection.

Now, THAT was a kick!

Even more now in every agency in every company “managers” decide things they know nothing about. Total arrogance.
