Engine restart, (airborne) go to checklist page 6:

1. START switch: ON

2. THROTTLE setting: IDLE (VERRRRRY important)

3. BRAKES: set (sure, why not?)

4. TRIM: full UP

5. Remove seat belt (if wearing one)

6. Open door (if so equipped)

7. Climb out on right main gear

and i thought i was cool to be able to start my engine back on when accidentally switched off on the freeway. this guy takes the cake!
 
yeah, flying is always a dangerous hobby, but it used to be MUCH more dangerous. :thumbup awesome pic. Can you show us how this would be done on a helicopter without a starter? :laughing

Look closely at the pic. If the brakes were not set, that wheel he's standing on would be spinning. :burnout
 
Holy molies, that guy wants to live so bad, he's probably doing the most dangerous thing he'll ever do for the rest of his life hahahahaha
 
Actually, he is just adding...

some oil. The A-65 Continental's oil filler cap is located there, on the right hand side of the engine. This guy is probably on one of the endurance record flights, popular in the 1950's. Climb to altitude, kill the engine (to reduce wind blast) and slow to prevent windmilling, add oil, dive the plane to about 100 mph to re-start. Also, the pilot on a J-3 Cub is in the back seat...

The still standing record for these flights is 60+ days in the air without landing. The aircraft which was used for the flight is a Cessna 172, which now hangs in the baggage claim area at Las Vegas...
