A 15-year-old boy from the Urals suffered acute frostbite after riding the wing of a Boeing-737 plane on a two-hour flight from Perm to Moscow, Russian radio station Mayak reported on Monday.

I saw this posted on another forum - its just a bad translation. The boy had hidden inside the wheel wells of the aircraft, and wasnt clinging onto the wing as the translation suggests

yeah I did think that clinging to a wing at 900 kmph and 10 km in the air for 2 hours was a bit beyond a 15 year old. Now if it had been GKirk....

I say we should give it a try. We bundle Gkirk in the back of a car, take him to the airport and tie him to the wing of an aircraft.

Only trouble is, which airport do we use? Edinburgh or Glasgow? icon_twisted.gif

Prestwick would be preferable
