Captain Duchamp expertly demonstrates the early 1970s trend of "Ghost Riding Two Whips" as he prepares to re-enter the flight deck of a fully-booked, already-taxiing DC-9 preparing for its nonstop flight to Ottawa.

Many pilots performed this maneuver while dancing the foxtrot with stewardesses on 8mm film, movies they would later share with friends and family.

I remember taking a long band bus trip back in the mid-80s. The bus had two drivers, and I remember them swapping out while the bus was going 65 mph on a US highway.

That aircraft was eventually bought by Continental Airlines and registered as N626TX. It crashed on takeoff from Denver in 1987.

"There's a bomb on the band bus. If your tempo drops below 150bpm or breaks from 12/8 time, it will explode."

Yikes! You'd think they could at least pull off on a lonely exit/entrance ramp and swap at the stop sign..
