Chuck Yeager was here in New Zealand for an airshow a few years back and I recall him telling us that he had barrel rolled the 707 prototype at the Paris airshow after being told not to do anything silly with the priceless prototype.
He then felt that he was in so much trouble that he turned the aircraft around and did it again!
Google it to see actual footage of this stunt
