...sounds vaguely like, well, a fellow hollering down a drainpipe. On the state-fair cir cuit, he harvests $25,000 for an appearance in which he tells a few jokes ("The tornado was so bad a hen laid the same egg twice") and does songs (She Was a T-Bone Talking Woman but She Had a Hot-Dog Heart}.

Whipping airplanes around pylons mere yards above the deck is a sport so risky that it all but disappeared from the U.S. scene after famed Flyer Bill Odom crashed to his death in 1949. Since 1964 it has come roaring back...
