| Description: | Tight Landing - Air Show This troop of aerial dare-devils show how to land a plane on top of a car without being Sunday drivers-and get away with it. It's just not any plane it's a bi-plane with a stunt man standing on top of the wing as it's flying as the plane rocks back and fourth. Another single winged plane (maybe a piper cub) tries to get a piece of the action by landing on a specially built platform that's attached to a car, the car is moving at a pretty good pace and the plane tries to land on the platform. Tommy Walker keeps the air minded on the edge of their seats when deliberately runs his small biplane into a wall - and walks away from it. | |
