an act of aggression.

Aggression?

This is my territory.

Smile, son.

We don't want to

disconcert the masses.

Then fly your crate

the hell outta here.

For what

conceivable reason?

Nebraska's mine,

I've been working it

for two years.

Friend, you just got

yourself a new partner.

But these people

are mine.

Then you're not leavin'?

You grasp things

very well,

I can see that.

But don't you

leave, either.

If you

carry my gas can

into town for me

I'll give you

a free lesson

at the end of the day.

Judging from that landing,

you need all the help

you can get!

Forgive the intrusion,

good folks,

now, let's remind

ourselves where we were.

Some people would say

that what you're about

to see is probably

the greatest exhibition

of aeronautical skill

in history the world.

I myself

wouldn't go that far.

It is probably

only the greatest

since the invention

of the airplane.

Now, this'll be

the order, folks.

First, the falling leaf,

then the barrel roll,

then an inside loop.

And finally a daring

low-level pass.

Huh?

There he goes.

Son?

Son?

Oh!

I'd be obliged

if you'd prop me, son.

Glad to.

You're a good loser,

and I like good losers.

Then again,

you've probably had

lots of practice.

Contact.

Contact.

Little change in

the program, folks.

My partner and I

have a little surprise

planned for you folks.

How would you all

like to see the famous

Axel Olsson crash?

The pond! The pond's

the safest place, Axel!

That's his signal, folks.

Means he's just

rarin' to go.

Everybody down

to the pond.

Everybody, everybody,

the thing of it is,

it really makes Axel

feel appreciated,

if when he's done,

assuming he's alive,

there's a reward waiting.

In Wichita folks

gave $15 to $20

just to see a crash

like this, up close.

But you all decide,

whatever you like,

I'll take it.

Thank you. Thank you.

They love it, Axel!

They're good people!

Now, down to

the pond, everybody.

That's the best spot

to see it from.

Thank you.

Be sure and give

the captain

a nice round

of applause

when he's finished.

It just means

the world to him,

knowing you care.

Hey, you!

Come back here!

Come back here!

That was a mistake.

What?

He shouldn't have

taken off his gun.

Why not?

Arabs behind those rocks.

You like movies?

Mmm-hmm.

If the clothes is nice.

Is this your sweater?

Uh-huh.

No, no!

Don't worry. Don't worry.

You know what I'd do

if I was him?

What?

Throw sand

in their eyes,

blind 'em.

And you could tell

It was Kessler,

because he had a black

and yellow plane,

it had three wings

and looked like a wasp.

Oh, that could

sting you, you mean?

And he had...

Huh?

Right.

Aw!

And he had the name
