     Your're comparing apples and cumquats.
     The coffee trick was performed by Bob Hoover, one of the top 5 test 
pilots of all time. He didn't pull that stunt out of his butt- it was part 
of the airshow routine paid for by Rockwell, who built the plane he was 
flying and employed him to fly it. All speeds and G loads were calculated in 
advance, and practiced while wearing a chute and usually with a backup 
pilot. I don't think it classifies as a "Stupid pilot trick", and the 707 
roll didn't either.
