Hand propping techniques vary from 1 pilot to the next.

The elevator of a 747 is big enough. But the Cub's top speed is below the 747's stall speed. This makes the whole ordeal problematic.

Simple: The 747 comes up behind the Cessna, but just a little bit lower.

When it get underneaths, it "pops" up the elevator and (pancake style) "flips" the Cessna up and over into the pit stop area: The crew jumps over the rail, sticks the jack underneath, gives the driver a Gatorade, washes the windshield, fills the tanks,changes the tires, checks the suspensions ...

Oh. Wait. Too much Nascar.

No Cessnas. The hand prop picture is a Piper Cub. The missing whell picture is a Piper Warrior. No such thing as too much NASCAR. But if a 747 bump drafts a small plane the wall called Earth is the next stop.

Oh. So the resulting hole is what little plane calls a "pit stop" after it drafts a 747?
