I didn't realise pilots were allowed to actually roll the B-1. I guess whoever was flying must have had a huge silly grin on their face and cherished the waiver.

Waddington International Airshow 2000; the Bone pilots rolled the bird and over-stressed the airframe, I understand when she returned stateside she never flew again!

Those things get rolled all the time. If it was overstressed it wasn't because it was rolled. Rolling Eyes

Yeah, probably more like over-G'd in a turn. Same thing happened to an SR at the 86 RIAT. The crew overstressed the airframe. I don't know if it ever flew again. Parrothead, Habu, or one of our many UK aviation enthusiast friends will know.
