In 1956, Thomas Fitzpatrick, a World War II and Korean War veteran, made an unbelievable bet in a New York City bar. He claimed he could fly from New Jersey to Manhattan in just 15 minutes. Taking his bet seriously, Fitzpatrick "borrowed" a single-engine Cessna 140 from a nearby flying school and took off into the night sky. Around 3:00am, nearby residents were shocked to find a small plane parked on their street. Fitzpatrick had successfully navigated through the urban canyons of New York and landed the aircraft on a narrow city street.
The stunt made front-page news, with even the police impressed by his skill.
Sgt. Harold Behrens of the police aviation bureau stated the odds of such a landing were 100,000-to-1.
Initially claiming engine trouble, Fitzpatrick later admitted it was due to a bar bet. He received a mere $100 fine for his daring feat. But Fitzpatrick wasn't done!
Two years later in 1958, he repeated the stunt, landing another plane on a different street in Manhattan – all because someone at his local bar didn't believe his story about the first landing!
(For his second offense he was sentenced to six months in jail!) What does this have to do with Match and Fable’s latest role?
