“after riding the wing of a Boeing-737 plane on a two-hour flight from Perm to Moscow, Russian radio station Mayak reported on Monday.”

Riiiight. And Hillary Clinton is an evangelical Christian.

So how did he manage to stay on the wing and not get blown off?

Someone needs to post the picture of the being on the wing from the Twighlight Zone.

Seems pretty unlikely he'd be able to hang on to a wing in a 500mph breeze.. let alone be able to breathe at 35000 ft, in a 500mph breeze.

For two hours.

Gotta throw the BS flag on this one, up there with I Had Bigfoot's Baby.

Absolutely impossible. I’ve been in numerous hurricanes and was blown down by 90 mile per hour gusts. Supposedly this person holds onto a wing flying at 500+ MPH while surviving the ascent and descent and the extreme temperatures and lack of oxygen at 35,000 feet altitude.

Moonbat, propaganda, propaganda, demi-moonbat, questionable. So, umm, yeah, actually, the link looks like B.S. :) What I’d like to know is not how someone survives the air temp, but really, how does someone breathe in 400-500 knot winds for even ten minutes? Now, if you take it from being on the wing, to being /in/ the wing, that sounds far more likely.
