>The SkyKing Barrel Roll has bothered me for a long time
Not sure what you are getting at, but if you are suggesting that It was faked, how do you explain the F-15 pilot's reaction when he reported back to his wing man over the radio. We have the audio recording. I am talking about the 2 F-15's that were scrabbled to intercept the plane once it was reported as a hijacked plane.
