Notes

Original Toronto Star caption: Wings and a prayer: With nothing to tie her down, Carol Lynne rides on the wing of a biplane high over Toronto, with her husband at the controls -- a death-defying stunt she'll perform four times this weekend starting Friday at the CNE's Canadian International Air Show. She'll also do an aerial balet and hang on to a wingtip during a roll.
