I wonder if they were low or high time pilots, if they did the academy or FBO route, instructed or not and all other extraneous/contributing factors that make you a super pilot that is "desired" by the airlines both Regionals and Majors.

Aileron rolls are for sissies, real men do outside snap rolls.

Not sure how coincidental this is but there seems to be a fair amount of accidents of which have been recently reported where one of the pilots deceased or otherwise (in this case) was about to leave and start a new flying job elsewhere.

I heard from several folks it was the guys last flight as he was retiring.. I guess he decided to go out with style!

I'll go out on a limb and say it was his last flight. I don't know about retirement, though.

Dude, if you can roll a 707 during a demo flight, I guarantee a Lear would be easy. Besides that, aerobatics are all about finesse. Especially when doing a Bob Hoover while drinking the coffee maneuver. I bet the Lear has a faster roll than a Commander easily. That airplane is nothing but ailerons. Finesse my brothas. Treat the airplane like a woman and glide into it whatever it is you are doing.

Interesting. I would say that a pilot who can roll a Learjet doesn't need to be flying any passengers around.

He should have the skills to do it, but the judgement not to.
