James Bond Flies LoPresti Fury in Wichita’s Flight Festival

Wichita, KS -- (SBWIRE) -- 08/20/2008 -- If you are old enough to remember James Bond (aka Roger Moore) flying a BD5 jet through a hanger sideways in Octopussy, then you are already familiar with the work of “Corkey” Fornof, talented stunt pilot, aerial coordinator and director. "Corkey” Fornof is the master of aviation movie action.

“Corkey's” list of feature movie stunts includes Harrison Ford's 6 Days/7 Night's, John Travolta's Face Off, Tom Cruise's Mission Impossible II, Steven Spielberg's Jurassic Park and Robert Redford and Demi Moore's Indecent Proposal. "Corkey" is a member of the Screen Actors Guild, the Motion Picture Pilots Association, and holds a current Motion Picture/Television Flight Operations Manual for the FAA. He's been spotted in over 100 commercials and MTV.

For the past year, “Corkey” has been touring the country with the LoPresti Fury. “Corkey” is the perfect pilot/ambassador for this winged Ferrari-like sportster. If you're going to show off a fast, sexy, high performance aircraft, it helps to have a secret agent as your pilot. The Fury possesses the thrilling excitement of air combat or an aerobatic WWII fighter. It's precision and perfection allows smooth rolls and figure 8s. One can glide cross-country in this leather-seated beauty listening to tunes of your choice through the Bluetooth Headset and Intuition™ Ipod system.

“Corkey” will present a seminar on Saturday and will also fly in the Spirit AeroSystems Air Shows on Friday, Saturday and Sunday. The 2008 Wichita Flight Festival will be held at Colonel James Jabara Airport, 3512 N. Webb Road on August 22 – 24.
