   You're welcome.  He was in the Bond movie (The Man With the Golden Gun) with   
   my favorite stunt where Bond (Roger Moore) drives a car over a bridge that has   
   no mid-section ("I sure am, boy!").  They achieved that car roll in one take.    
   It remided me of the barrel roll "Tex" Johnston did for Boeing in a 707 when   
   they were showing it off to prospects.  The chieftains at Boeing told him not   
   to do that again.  I wish I'd been in it.  That was an enormous plane at the   
   time.   
      
      
   Regards,
