I have to admire the skill involved in doing that, however the old and sensible side of me is thinking how dangereous that was, but it must have been a buzz doing it.

The air currents must have been pretty hairy at times, like when they got behind that white van that merged from the right or when the car passed them towards the end of the tunnel....pretty incredible really.

Very good piloting skills there. Interesting post, thanks!

That was just dumb. Their isn't much skill involved in a stunt like that and too much could have gone wrong.

A Mission Impossible moment.........Come on lighten up..It looked like a quite time of day and the driver could warn of following traffic in time to divert the plane or just crash it if needed....
What about that new tunnel in Austria,the longest in the world
We were all young and dumb at one time..
