Where the Wild Things Are, Aviation Edition

Max was swept up and lifted high in the air...

In the spirit of the new movie, Where the Wild Things Are, opening in theaters tomorrow, we went on a hunt for the wild things that have occurred in aviation and been caught on film! These amazing and at times, crazy, feats are nail-biting, white-knuckled, heart-stopping and above all else, wild!

This pilot accomplishes a touch and go maneuver while his plane is nearly side-ways from an overbearing crosswind:


These wild stunt pilot, decides to fly under a bridge, upside down!


How about skydiving from one plane into another? Yes, a plane-to-plane stunt, midair!


Planes aren't the only aircraft prone to wild stunts! This helicopter's antics are jaw dropping. (Note: Be prepared for stereotypcial cheesy background music!)


The F-15 in this airshow video leaves the crowd with their mouth agape!


And one last video, a view of an aircraft carrier landing as seen from inside of the cockpit! (Note: Not for those prone to motion sickness)


Do you have any great aviation "wild rumpus" footage that you've caught on "tape"? We'd love to see them, feel free to embed them in your comments on this post, or email them to info@saraa.org.
