A famous grand prix driver once described racing around the streets of Monaco as being akin to motorcycle scrambling in your front room.
He could well have added: "...and positioning huge exhibits in the static display parks of major air shows." As this photo by a Flight Daily News photographer illustrates, close shaves abound. Here the propeller tip of an IPTN N-250 barely misses the wing skin of the 'vomit-comet' Airbus A-300 'Zero G'. It's a good job that the Airbus's tyres were well pumped-up... and that the paint wasn't too thick.
