Here is some trivia! Tex Johnston is the only Boeing test pilot to be fired and rehired in the same flight. After doing that "unaurtherized" barrel roll, Boeing officials fired him over the radio. By the time he landed at Boeing field. He was rehired because of all the Positive feedback of a Boeing commercial plane to be able to pull off that maneuver. It had never been done before. He became a Boeing legend.
