Shall I give out the answer now or... at the end of the month?
I was planning on having a new poll each month, but I could change it to a new poll each week instead...
It would keep interest higher since the amount of voting you could do would increase 4 fold...
So what does everyone think?

The incident I refered to ended in a firey disaster. I believe all on board the B-52 died. _________________ FAF/FA-2 FM Wizard

Ok, I cant wait anymore! This poll was a trick question!
The correct answer is the Boeing B-17, which was rolled many times during flight displays of production aircraft...
The DASH-80 demonstrator that later developed into the KC-135 and Boeing 707 also did two barrel rolls when on display, but it was not a production 707 so that answer is incorrect as no Boeing 707 was ever barrel rolled! Heh...
The B-52 was attempted to be barrel rolled but crashed...
The C-5A/B was never attempted, and rightly so, this aircraft would immediately lost its wings in such a maneuver...

you need more sleep and less medication lol
The question was "What is the largest aircraft ever to do an acrobatic barrel role?" the answer IS the -80, you just didnt offer it as a voting option!!!! ROFLMAO
now IF you had worded it "which of these was the largest aircraft to do an acrobatic barrel role?" you would have made sense lol _________________ FAF/FA-2 FM Wizard
