Remember never to leave you keys in and your transport running when you leave the plane. Someone could steal it on you.

The new transport does a new twist on some old technology to save weight in its restrooms: the drop pit with the high velocity air wipe.

New retrofit anti-lock theft system for 1998 Cavalier. Tested on Russian aircraft for reliability. You must climb out of the vehicle while it is in motion and replace the tail light bulb or vehicle will not start. ( Sorry guys, after the earlier post I couldn't resist the temptation )

HAHAHAHAHAHAHA!

Now that I think of it, I'm surprised that Priceline hasn't negotiated the rights to use that ep for an ad spot, either redubing the audio, or reshooting it. (Like Shatner could resist hamming it up and poking fun at his younger self yet again.)

As you have probably realized, this is Tom Cruise doing his own stunts for his latest "Mission Impossible 5" movie. The Airbus A-400M was cruising along at about 5,000 feet near Cambridge, England. Not at all bad for a 52 year old. Of course, I'd do it as well - for the right money.
