Loops

[skoker]

Does anyone know of an instance where a pilot goes to loop, but instead of pulling up to do it, he pushes down.  I've never seen it done, nor heard of it being attempted.  They did it on the magic schoolbus, but Im not sure if it's possiblein real life.

This is a recognised aerobatic manoeuvre called a Bunt or Outside Loop. For some reason they call it an English Bunt nowadays.

On May 25 1927 Jimmy Doolittle was the first person to perform a complete bunt.

Like an 'inside' loop, an 'outside' loop' describes a complete circle.
