saw an Aer Lingus 737 do this at Shannon in August 1988.. It was an airshow but it was low and fast.

I think they banned it after the Air France crash in 198

I saw the OP and immediately thought of the Kegworth crash - hopefully that's me just being oversensitive and not the intention?   On checking that was actually flight 92.

Cathay's chief pilot got binned for doing this with the brand new machine he had just picked up from the factory behind:

didn't the test pilot of the 707 do a loop in it's first demo?  I'm sure I've seen footage.

It was two barrel rolls during a demo flight - Tex Johnson 

ah yes!  I remember now, quite an achievement.

I used to be school gate dads with another super senior Cathay pilot who got kicked out, albeit for completely different reasons
