There was a true story a couple of years ago about a small private plane with a wheel stuck. The pilot flew as slow as he could above the runway while someone drove a fast car under it and someone climbed through the sunroof, reached up and yanked the wheel down.
Awesome rescue action for a plane
There was a true story a couple of years ago about a small private plane with a wheel stuck. The pilot flew as slow as he could above the runway while someone drove a fast car under it and someone climbed through the sunroof, reached up and yanked the wheel down. Reminds me of a short story I read many, many years ago. It seems that during an airborne training mission one of parachutes got hung up on the Globemaster they were jumping from. Fortunately, there was a hotrodder on base that was able to catch the dangling paratrooper, cut the harness and carry him to safety.
I liked it when I was 15 but it seems highly unlikely now.
