“It was a very difficult sequence to do. The weather was extremely hot, up to 120 degrees, which had a great effect on the handling of the plane. We had to fly very low to the ground, so it was going up, going down, and I’m hanging on the edge of it, with no cables. I had to jump onto a tanker that’s hurtling along at 70 miles an hour.” – Simon Crane, stunt double for Timothy Dalton.

Filming began on this day in 1988 for the stunt where Bond (Timothy Dalton) jumps from a plane onto a moving tanker in LICENCE TO KILL. This stunt was filmed over a three-week period.
