Probably wasn't a B52. Tex Johnston was reknowned for barrel rolling a 707 during a demo back in the day - there's grainy video of it on youtube. Apparently the Boing execs at the demo didn't know it was going to happen and nearly had heart attacks when he did.

Tex flew in cowboy boots and, well, was named Tex. I don’t know what they thought would happen.
