I love it! there use to be the old movie clips of girls dancing on the wings
Do you really think they new those planes were just stuck together with tape
I hate to burst your bubble GD, (POP! oops sorry,) but the more I look at that clip, the more it looks like a studio fake.
Anyone who has ever put their head or hand out the window of an aeroplane will know how hard the slipstream blows on it.
Even at the low speed those old crates chug along, it is considerable.
There are a number of frames in that clip that show almost no effect from slipstream. e.g when she is sitting on the undecarriage cross bar, her leg is just dangling straight down. It should be blowing backwards.
When she is waling along the wing, her arms and hands are just waving about like she is walking around a shopping mall.
There are no scenes in the plane change series or wheel change series which show a normal slipstream effect.
Also, when she fits the wheel on the axle shaft, the wheel just drops straight down and into place.
Wheels have bearings with very small clearances on the axle shaft. They have to be wriggled on slowly with some effort. She just seems to ba able to throw that one on from a distance and it's all fixed. I don't think so!
The landing scene does look real however.
