Preflight people, please?

Post by Danny Brotto »

This is a cute video link posted on the ozreport.

Is it just me or is the gal's helmet not buckled? The straps seem to be blowing in the wind. I'm impressed that it stayed on!

Preflight people!

chalk it up to love maybe?
a hoot, a chuckle and even good production values.
nice to see humor resurface for the holidays.

I know that I'm "old school"... but watching that just makes me sad.

I enjoyed them. I might not agree with the no helmet, no strap parts, but it looked like a blast to me. Made me want to hang glide even more.

But I have to wonder? How did the Disney flight song get started. My guess...inop dvd player/internet down/rain day/followed by lots of drinking and a double dare ya. On the other hand, it might just turn into a marketing master piece if someone, say Laura, could magically link it to a FL/Disney tourist website. It might just work. I hope so.
