[PLUG-TALK] 8-point roll story

[Russell Senior]

Just did a little checking on Keith Lofstrom's 747 story from the last
post-PLUG meeting rap session.  Turns out it wasn't a 747, but a
pre-707 prototype called the "Dash 80".  And, apparently, it was a
barrel roll, not an 8-point roll.  Here's a link:
