Cool what to do if your wheel falls off in mid air

Amazing video footage. She had balls the size of Taurus the bull!

It's usually not a problem until one attempts to land.

Cute video, though that may prove a little more problematic in light airplanes today.

Excellent warranty service.

It would have been a real bu@@er if she had dropped it whilst trying to put it onto the axle.

Clearly she would have swallow dived down to catch it again whilst the aircraft dived after her and they cleverly came together again and effected the repair.

Exactly! Has everyone failed to notice the most damning issue? She's not wearing her hi-viz vest! I, for one, am truly shocked at the flouting of such an essential health & safety requirement.
