Named after a military tradition, the "Dead Ant" maneuver shown here never made it to a public demonstration. Capt. Ron Catton, Solo, flew his F-105B Thunderchief jet upside-down with gear extended in a demonstration for the Tactical Air commander in 1964. The maneuver was deemed unsafe and was never flown publicly. F-105B Thunderchief 1964 by AirmanMagazine
