Guy strapped himself to 747--did it happen?

I remember reading somewhere that in the 70s some “performance artist” strapped himself to the tail of a 747, which took off, and he died.

Did this or something like it ever happen?

I vaguely remember a “That’s Incredible” episode with a guy who rode on the back of a jet…he survived, though.

I recall the same episode. Can’t find a record of it though.

Well, Google didn’t turn up the answer for me, but I’ll note that there are one hack of a lot of performance venues whose phone numbers are in 747 exchanges.

i remember some jerk doing it…he called himself ‘the human fly’…he passed out while doing it.

Now that rings a bell (off to Google)
