I imagine you could safely roll any airplane as long as you kept a positive steady g-force on the airframe. I wouldn't think the airplane would care about its attitude. Then again, I may be full of crap -- just my opinion. Of course, I wouldn't want to be on the crew that tried it. Ever see the video of the 707 in Washington that was rolled?

Does that C-27J have de-icing boots on the leading edges like the old Gooney Bird or the C-54 or are the leading edges just painted black?

I'm confident I could successfully roll the Herk w/o much loss of altitude. The trick is the rudder reversal at the top - if you don't do that, you'll end up in a barrel dive and lose quite a bit of altitude.

I do it in the sim every year to "practice" for when I have to do it for real in combat! Hahaha! ;)

Yes, virtually any plane can roll...
