July 8, 1965 – Paul Mantz, American noted air racing & movie stunt pilot, died while flying the Tallmantz Phoenix P-1 for the movie 'The Flight of the Phoenix'. I got to know Paul at Pancho's #HappyBottomRidingClub #Stunt #airraces @TomCruise

That must have been an amazing time. I would have loved to have been a fly on the wall for that conversation at that place in that time :-)
And definitely not the one hiding under the bed trying not to breathe, let alone sneeze, and hoping the ol' Russian lady was true blue
