<VV> Corvairs from above

[Vairtec Corp]

I can endorse this idea -- with a twist.

A few years back, my local chapter went to a small airport that conducts 
air shows with vintage aircraft.  We also arranged for one of the "Fly 
Corvair" guys to join us.

The airport management happily asked for a drive-by parade of Corvairs 
during the air show, and put me on the public address system to describe 
each car as it came by.

Just as the last car passed by, the Corvair aircraft arrived, doing a 
top-speed (and probably in violation of FAA rules) pass just above the 
runway.  So I was able to seamlessly transition from describing the last 
car in line to "and now, in the air, the Corvair powered [name of 
aircraft]!"  ZOOOOOOOOOOOOM

It could not have been planned or scripted better, although it was pure 
luck.

A combined car show & air show can be a cool thing.
