Nice links MrWalk. Another link to a site for those who can't get enough Cub in their lives- good technical data and fun stuff too.
SuperCub.org - The Home of All Things PA-18
Not a Cub video, but an old good one. Wonder how many touch and goes a Cub could do in a similar situation? Might need some long range fuel tanks though to get out there.

YouTube Passenger should probably be more concerned about the mud in his underwear, rather than clipping the wing.
Break.com Probably not the best idea...

RB-57F or WB-57F
Flew it 1968 - 1971 ; in 2009 it's still the only platform that can carry reconnaissance equipment and two crewmembers to altitudes above 60,000 ft.

Compressor Inlet Picture
Doesn't seem like there's much room for any engine accessories? Must be aft of compressor section.
Edit: Found some more info, Wiki says it had two Wright J65 turbojets. Looks like a hydromechanical nightmare!
