This is a true story - we have it all on tape!

My brother was taking flying lessons up in Washington State. His friend, Micky, wanted to ride along. So my brother gets permission from the instructor and they all pile in the plane - my brother and the pilot up front and Micky in the back. So they get up to altitude and Micky's just sitting there enjoying the view and taping the flight with the video camera while the pilot instructs my brother. Unbeknownst to Micky, today they will be stalling the plane. So my brother pulls back on the yoke and cuts engine power to stall the plane. It starts to stall and on the video you can hear mickey yelling whoa whoa whoa! Then the plane begins tumbling towards the ground. At this point the video camera is clearly out of control and Micky is screaming uncontrolably until finally my brother regains control. Well Micky was quite ticked and was calling my brother every name in the book until my brother turned around - the camera still rolling - and casually asks, "That was pretty cool, huh?" Micky did not respond. Poor guy. I would have hated to be in his shoes- but it's pretty funny.
