Hangar Start-up.

As well as super-human hearing ability, these actors are damn fine pilots too, when required.

YouTube - Deadly Encounter - intro

That "Hangar Departure" from the opening scene of Deadly Encounter was excellent. Larry picked it up into a very precise 1 foot hover and even dropped the tail as he came out the door so he didn't catch his tail-fin on the doorframe. He recovered nicely from that minor case of LTE on climb-out as well. And all of this whilst wearing a pair of sandals. Outstanding!

Seriously though, could they not find a smaller hangar than that one? I'll bet the stunt pilot reviewed his life insurance when he saw the story-board for that scene.

"You want me to do WHAT?"

Ah, the good ole days of stunt flying.
