Current image looks like something from Wikipedia, and not in a good way considering you need a microscope and a PHD to figure out what's going on at that size.

Certainly we can find something more peppynote . Even this diagram.

That diagram is better than the current image:

I cut it down a little. I only removed the link because it wasn't readable at that size anyway.

That diagram is far better than the current one.

Indeed. Much better.

I like that a lot, perfectly illustrative... but the type is a cost without benefit. (I'm all for text that adds something, but that doesn't, does it?) Another version: [1]

Ah it's not only barrel rolls, it's any flashy move in a vehicle. The type does add something, makes it look more diagrammatic.

Looks like a good replacement.

Eight votes and it's up and tagged. I left the old caption for now.

That was the amazing part. Things just keep going.

That's a bad caption. Something more like "This will make you vomit" is better, I'd say.

I think that's worse. A pilot experience enough to pull it around is probably experienced enough to hold it in.

How about leaving it captionless for now?

Just don't use "Press Z or R twice!". Please.

I'm not really crazy about any of the caption suggestions, and since it's been a few days since the pic was put up, I'd say we can lock this up.
