They can gfo upside down (called Whiffling; to spill the air from their wings when landing). Take a look at this pic , which has one or two inverted geese:

Before I read the article I was going to say its having a little wiffle! If you ever watch a large flock come into land they often do this to lose height quickly. It's a very flick though so a great pic smile
