The airport will now investigate to see if the impromptu in-flight inspection broke any major rules.

What?!?

The instructor was flying the plane during the low passes.

I'm sure the student really wanted to be at the controls. Crushed. Heartbroken. So sad.

I have no courage what-so-ever. I am impressed every single day by some people.

We thought about doing something like this once when I was
a teenager. We used to jump out of a J-3, static line and
one day one of our group got twisted up in it and was tethered at the end. We figured we could drive up under him
at a slow pass, cut the line and have him safe in the jeep.

It was either that or just land and drag him aways.

Fortunately the pilot found a can opener in the cockpit and was able to take him up and cut him loose, where he used
his reserve.

Great sport, when you're young and crazed.

Very interesting, Was it a Cessna 177?

While waiting for CSI on Spike TV a couple of days ago, I saw a video almost identical to this except the mechanic who grabbed the plane's wheel tried three times, finally having to use a sedan with a moon roof in order to get the correct speed (he had a driver as well, of course). It was on "Most Amazing Videos" or some such -- I don't exactly remember.

Don't try this at home.

Stupidity in flight is a death penalty offense.

Think of it as evolution in action.

OK, now who of the guys on this board are not painfully envious of this stunt?
