Back in the sixties when NASA was playing with the hypersonic rocket powered X-15 one of the jobs before each test flight was to check out the alternate landing lakebeds.
To do this a pilot would fly up to the lake bed in a C-47 transport 'plane and land to make sure it wasn't too soft and that the black oil strip markings hadn't been washed away. One of the pilots took to loading his old Triumph motorcycle into the back of the C-47 and racing it across the miles of flat lakebed just for s
ts and giggles.The pilot scheduled to fly the X-15 would spend the morning in an F-104 Starfighter with flaps and wheels down to simulate the X-15s' handling and practicing his approaches to the alternate lake beds just in case...
One morning the F-104 pilot saw the other pilot chin on the tank doing 100mph across the desert so he cleans up the Starfighter, no flaps or wheels to slow him down, rolls in several miles behind the poor unsuspecting biker and winds up the J-79 engine in the back to full dry power and performs a high speed low pass over the chap on the bike.
By high speed/low level we're talking 600mph+ at about 20-30 feet

In a similar O/T vein, there is a great clip on YouTube of Alain de Cadanet doing a piece to camera and almost being a haircut by a Spitfire -https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cECmbme_UKsBack in the sixties when NASA was playing with the hypersonic rocket powered X-15 one of the jobs before each test flight was to check out the alternate landing lakebeds.

An advert caught my attention the other day, it just pulled me in as I was walking out of the room, it was go good I didn't try and figure out what it was, but then just at the last moment I guessed before it ended, it was some ad for scent, it was just so different to the utter piles of st that normally make-up scent/perfume ads.
