He was in the movie credits as well. A couple of years after the movie was released he took me stunt flying, now that was gas let me tell you, barrel rolls, hammer heads, figure 8s, and little too much stress on the wings when we plumeted towards the earth coming out of the hammer head and pulling out of the vertical stall. Any way real life is very seldom like the moveis, however it is what you make of it.
