    Gadling ran a story yesterday that seems part folk tale, part good old Russian propaganda, and all a little crazy: According to some Russian news sources, a Russian boy survived an 800 mile flight while clinging to the wing of an airplane. However, as Gadling is quick to point out, that just doesn’t seem quite possible. They’re also quick to point out that the Moscow Times reported that the boy stowed away in the plane’s wheel well. The boy is recovering, and the reports from the Russian media are still mixed.

    Either way, it’s another in a long line of strange Russian air travel stories (drunk flight attendants anyone?).
