Way cool. I'll have to ping some of the old timers down at the 916 ARW to see if anyone has any back ground on that one. Maybe I one of them has better video.

Wow! If I had seen this live I would have thought: "It's gonna crash within the next seconds!" Great find!

Always impressive to see a large aircraft doing the unthinkable, I'd like to find out their gross weight.

I'll bet that those fortunate souls who were present to see Tex Johnston roll the Dash-8 over Lake Washington felt the same apprehension and amazement.
