Q.417

Quoting from Wikipedia, the definition for this two word term from aeronautics is:
an aerial maneuver in which an airplane makes a complete rotation on its longitudinal axis while following a helical path, approximately maintaining its original direction. It is sometimes described as "a combination of a loop and a roll".

This term became part of an internet sensation in November 2011. What term and why the hooplah?
