Mike CuyMike Groah? Who else has smoke?
While those guys are amazing to watch, that stunt was also done way back
in 1963 in a twin Beech, for =9CIt=99s a Mad, Mad, Mad
World.=9D I know the hangar well, as it still stands at the
airport I learned to fly. What=99s not seen in this picture is
that there was a stand of eucalyptus trees that he had to negotiate on
pull out. In fact, the trees were too close to fly over, but there was a
gap large enough to fly throughif he banked enough! Since he
was so low to the ground, it required a bank and a yaw to keep climbing.
A family friend, now passed, had 8mm movies of the eventsure
wish I could see those again

How about flying in together, land, stop, open the other end, and then one plane
takes off one way and the other takes off the opposite way!

a full stop inside and turn off smoke, one of the pilots would climb out and
open the doors at the other side, and then they would roll out, smoke on, and
be flying when they exited the other side. Try THAT in your Extra 300!

In that same movie (It=99s a Mad, Mad, Mad, Mad World), right
after flying through the hangar, they flew that Twin Beech through a
billboard. I believe it said Coca-Cola on the front. They flew it
through from the back. I read that Tallman painted a bullseye on the
back of the billboard to give him a target for the nose of the airplane.
The billboard was made of balsa wood, but the frame was steel and he
only had 18=9D of clearance on either wingtip. When he flew
through it, big hunks of balsa wood plugged both carburetor intakes and
both engines quit almost immediately, forcing an immediate landing.
He had a lot more cajones than I=99ve EVER had!
I found a clip on YouTube showing flying through the hangar (it is at
about 2:40 into the clip) https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xsu3hiP1ikQ

Great photo Gary and I believe that stunt was performed by the
impressive Frank Tallman and if not mistaken that may have been after he
lost his one leg in a previous accident.
He learned to fly again with an artificial leg.
What a neat piece of aviation history right at the airport where you
learned to fly Gary.
I heard that Frank Tallman flew the Standard J-1 down Main Street in the
movie The Great Waldo Pepper he only had 4 feet to spare on either
wingtip.

Thanks for finding that video, Jack! I read that in an interview,
Tallman admitted that he would not like to repeat that billboard stunt.

Douwe I have been using an auto Garmin GPS 255W in my Piet for 3 years. I put a
custom POI in it. The file I have came from an FAA site. It has every airport
in the US in it. I just loaded MS,AL,GA and FL in mine. I will share it with
anyone wanting it. I have a Garmin Aviation GPS but like the auto better. I use
a sectional as well.
Jack Phillips I have an Ah-Oooga horn on my Piet. I bought it at Harbor Freight.
It is disappointing as it is not loud enough. What brand is yours? Maybe an
antique would work better. I can remember them since child hood and they were
loud!!
