Yea I've got the old VHS copy - worn it out as well. I first saw it when I was a kid and just keep popping it back in every once in a while, never gets old. I looked around forever for a VHS or DVD and found that site early this year - a replacement VHS was impossible to find.
Skip was my favorite character - I get a kick out of the narration at the end when he's inverted over the desert - talking about how he graduated near the bottom of his high school class but had since then learned to concentrate.
Really a shame he was killed. <S>
also ran across this, thought it was pretty interesting. In the film, at the end as the narrator's talking about the moment when you cross the threshold and realize "you've gone too far" there's a quick still shot of #4, gear up, nose high, just a few feet above the ground and I always wondered what the story was behind that, I figured he either mushed it into the ground at the bottom of a loop, or just geared it up, luckily it was the latter. Ernie Christensen (#4 pilot) found this thread and posted a few replies.
