    I've seen this menuever done but only at Edwards AFB and it was an AFFTC F-16B. Wide rolls but far from perfect. Looked like the aircraft was at a high AoA.

    i have talked to a USAF 16 pilot and he say's that the f-16 can do 3 perfect rolling monuevers. i dont know what it is called but it looks as though he pulls up and at same time puts stick to the right/left and makes the plane roll in a funny way so that it rolls up and down. He said that even modern fighters such as rafale couldnt do it, and that it could be a useful monuever in a dogfight as others wouldnt be able to follow.]
