The 777 Maneuvre is known as a Derry Wing Over named after Dehavilland test pilot John Derry DFC (who coincidentally passed away 70 years ago in September during an Air Show). It allows a high speed turn to be made and to bleed off excess speed at the same time. Obviously it wouldnt be undertaken with passengers on board but as an air display trick its pretty impressive.

Lot of people doubt about them forgeting the landing gear. In the video we can clearly hear the first pilot saying in french "Tu n'as pas sorti le train ? (you didn't set the gear down ?)", and the second to answer "Non (No)". So, yes, they forgot :)

[@deanfowlkes]

Are we all watching the same video? The gear-up landing was made in a single engine-prop airplane with two people in the front seats and at least one person in the backseats, manning the camera. Although only one needed to be Pilot-in-Command, any of the people aboard could have called for gear down or a go-around. The alarm noise was to loud to determine whether such a call was made. Based on the steep angle of the final approach, I am going to assume that this was an emergency landing. The prop could have just been windmilling without power. But, that is conjecture.

[@davedavids9619]

That 777 was not inverted, barely came to a 90 degree bank angle. If you do this wing over correctly you can go up to 120 - 130 degrees, but since over 90 degrees is defined as aerobatics (for which the 777 is not cleared) they have to keep it at this. When doing this manoeuvre you need airspeed to pull up the nose, thus bleeding the airspeed and then you can roll in which causes the nose to drop again. Then you gently roll out and you are back on speed again. It looks more impressive than it actually is. And the guys that forgot the landing gear ? What the heck were they thinking ? What is that annoying sound we cannot identify ? In any case there is a way you quickly find out you forgot the landing gear. If all of a sudden it takes a lot more power to taxi, the marshaller became a lot taller all of a sudden and the landing roll is a lot shorter...............chances are that you forgot something. 😀

[@paule7840]

Based on the title of the video, I was expecting more than a 90 degree bank angle. Definitely nowhere near "upside down".

[@drumology2001]

I’m not convinced that the 777 got anywhere near a 90° bank angle. To me (a professional videographer and commercial aviation enthusiast), it’s clear that the person filming tilted their phone/camera during the turn to make it look more impressive than it actually was.

[@rtbrtb_dutchy4183]

I was there. It didn’t get near 90°. It’s indeed an optical illusion.

[@ColdSmokes]

I too immediately knew there was camera trickery going on. the cameraman or editor conveniently removed all and every reference point.

[@JCDofNYC]

Yeah, I thought the same thing, as the plane banked, the videographer simply turned his camera in the opposite angular direction, creating the illusion of a much steeper bank angle on the 777.

[@Aquascape_Dreaming]

All good and all, but Denzel taught us all that a jetliner can indeed fly inverted 😂. All jokes aside, I did watch a video years ago that did a feasibility analysis on whether or not it was possible and/or practical for such a large jetliner to go inverted in any scenario. Unfortunately, I can't for the life of me remember what the conclusion of that analysis was 😂.

The crew said the aircraft was owned by a holding company in Miami.

Unless it was registered to a bankruptcy trustee (which would likely be in a chapter 11 reorg so the plane could stay in service); it more likely than not was simply the manner in which the plane was financed and registered under finance lien.

It's not that steep, it's more that the runway is at a great angle, it's an altiport, in France we have some in the mountains, runways usually are at a 16% slope so it looks really steep even when you are on a flat approach.
