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.

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..
