I liked that he was able to honestly describe how horribly he screwed up on his first solo by wheel-barrowing the C206.

I think Christopher Reeves did it many years ago. I remember a biplane swooping down along train tracks with him at the controls, but the name of the movie eludes me.

Edit... Found it. This article claims that he was the first. http://www.chrisreevehomepage.com/m-aviator.html

I watched the video and heard the same thing, but looking out the window of the Beaver, I see the Snake river and the peaks just south of Burley Idaho.

Here's the link to Flying mag's Lane Wallace's Harrison Ford fly Idaho story. It's still a good read.
