Marketing Buzz - real Snakes On A Plane (Yikes!):
"Monty Coles was 3,000 feet in the air when he discovered a stowaway peeking out at him from the plane's instrument panel -- a 4 1/2-foot black snake. [...]
While maintaining control of the single-engine plane with one hand, Coles grabbed the reptile behind its head with his other.
"There was no way I was letting that thing go. It coiled all around my arm, and its tail grabbed hold of a lever on the floor and started pulling," Coles said.
The next step was to radio for emergency landing clearance.
"They came back and asked what my problem was. I told them I had one hand full of snake and the other hand full of plane. They cleared me in.""
