Default A Good Stunt Pilot

This is a video of a stunt pilot who, in real life, is a Delta Airlines pilot.
His act at air shows is to pretend that he is a drunken spectator who
rushes from the stands and jumps into a Piper Cub and takes off without
any understanding of how to fly a plane.

The Piper Cub is actually specifically built to withstand an enormous amount
of stress and has a very powerful engine.

This type of stunt is actually the most dangerous of air show acts, because
of the low altitude at which the pilot performs.

Obviously, this pilot possesses unbelievable skill.

Check out the landing at the end - that is special


Nothing to do with Boats again, huh Herring?
