Jimmy, I was the actual pilot. If you watch that takeoff (small airport north of San Juan Int'l.) you'll notice the camera "pulls up" as I pass by still on the ground. That was my fault. I should've given them 300 more feet. Don was a great guy, celebrated his 35th birthday on that shoot. Glenn also and oh crap....forgot his name, the guy that played in Dukes of Hazzard. Just watched it. Update: This is the shortened version. My takeoff with Glenn "flying" it was omitted. The TV version had it.
@@billcallahan9303 Great story. I’ve been a CFII MEI for twenty years what’s the Beech 18 like to fly? Looks like it might be a little tough on takeoff from P factor from big engines and tail wheel. Really would like to hear about it.
@@jimjohnston526 If you really want to know Jim, read my book: Over & Back by Wild Bill Callahan on Amazon. It's doing great at 4.6 stars, might be 4.7 now. In one section of a chapter I relate my snowy, icey, dicey night landing at Midway with one brake inop, heavy cargo in back & how I figured out how to make it work using one brake. It's good learning stuff & thank you for the comment. Kindle version about $18.00.
I really wish they'd put Miami vice back on I have several CDs of Miami vice I lived in Miami for about 5 years and I saw Philip Michael Thomas and Don Johnson when I was leaving work one day and I blew the horn at them and they waved at me I was in the 1977 Pontiac firebird with a 400 engine in it was fun
So, when i was living in Miami back in the day, my friend and I would get regular gigs on the MV set as background extras (via show casting relative). We were in this particular scene, which simple as it is, took many takes. The guy in the brown plaid jacket was also a regular and funny as hell. He would always wear that same jacket as to stand out from the other extras. Additionally, he would attempt some irregular subtle action as to draw attention to himself. In this particular scene he faces the camera (away from the water) during the call to begin the reeling action. Obviously it slipped by the execs. Fun times!!
@@archietuttle2682 Don Johnson and PMT were born to play Crockett and Tubbs. Colin Farrell and Jamie Foxx didn't do it justice. I like both of them, but the Crockett and Tubbs roles are so iconic, no one else should play them
It's ("Lunatic Fringe") also played in full, in several key scenes, in the movie "Vision Quest" with Matthew Modine. VQ was a really good movie about a HS wrestler's move for greatness. It's from thr early/mid '80s, and has a great '80s soundtrack. (Madonna does a cameo of an entire song- she hadn't yet gotten super popular. By the next year, she was a household name.) ",only the Young" by Journey and "Fame" by John Waite are featured in the movie. @Backwoods_870
Jimmy Cole….the absolute coolest pilot and guitarist $ 25 grand can buy…….Glenn was great in this…..RIP.
Totally agree
😍

Thank you!! 🧨A show that was well before its time!! 🏝💙
Great episode. RIP Glenn
Omg! I need to watch the full episode by Glenn. I love him forever and ever.
You watch it indeed. It is a pretty good episode.

Fun fact: the Miami Vice movie was based on this episode.
The movie was awful
And this episode was based on Glenn Frey's song Smuggler's Blues.
@@lindacollins903 I didn't think it was awful, just vastly different than the series
@@archietuttle2682 Don Johnson and PMT were born to play Crockett and Tubbs. Colin Farrell and Jamie Foxx didn't do it justice. I like both of them, but the Crockett and Tubbs roles are so iconic, no one else should play them
@@lindacollins903 no it wasn't i liked it
La vi toda la,serie 20 mil veces cada capitulo 😊😊😊😊😊😊😊
There was cool and then there was Crockett and Tubbs cool. You could never be that cool.
Definitivo Esta Fue y Sera Una Gran Serie
Dang, Trudy looking like "why am I doing this f'ing job"
To be honest, in my opinion she always looked a bit like that.
Check out Trust Fund Pirates episode. Freys character is mentioned and has some awesome flight scenes.
It was supposed to be a sequel to this episode, but Frey wasn't available. Not sure why. It would have been cool to see Jimmy the pilot back.
That was one bitchin episode!!! Thanx-)
Classic
Is that a Ibanez Destroyer II?
Ol' Ed Waters before he became a doctor with a son named Dale and a stepson named Brennan.

I salute you, fellow Texan...whether you are Texan by birth or choice, or by temperament.
What's the name of the song being played during the opening scene?
I don't know. Anyone here knows what song this is?
Red Rider - Lunatic Fringe
@DarthVader-1701 (Thanks..been looking for this song for years)

This was dumber than electing Joe Biden
.. but ironically that was smarter than electing Trump
You must of been accidently born in the 2000s. This is classic tv from the 80s
This show wasn’t dumb but I do agree Biden is.
@@b.pradhana_ol660yes high inflation, not being able to afford food and impending war is so awesome with Biden. You’re not smart.
@@dukey19941 Yep he is so dumb. So Dumb he taught constitutional law was a senator, VP and beat Dumps ass to become Pres.
