    My brothers father in law was the Mercury kid, one of the first stunt boat driver's at Cypress gardens down in that area..his wife was one of the southern bells....he supervised the boat scenes in the James bond movie live and let die...Ms Budweiser was also based out of a lake in that area...lots of mercury history here in central Central Florida!

    I had heard about this, but not seen the video.  Interesting that they refueled on-the-fly from a chase boat at 30 mph.  

    The acting is kind of quaint, like at 10:06 when the steward is choosing an engine at random.  I can just hear the producer:  "OK, now wave your arm around at these four engines, then point at this one and the guys in white shirts will take it."
