Can a plane fly upside down?

Planes can be flown upside down by either having symmetric airfoil designs (top and bottom are both rounded) or by altering the angle of attack as necessary to generate lift if the airfoil is asymmetric. The key to sustained inverted flight is being able to generate lift even while upside down.
