Saw parts of this movie late Saturday night on the Sci-Fi channel (while
flipping back and forth from the USC-Fresno State game).

The Hitcher II: I've Been Waiting (2003)

There's a scene where the pilot-wife (steals) a dirty old, polished
aluminum(?), Cessna taildragger. She then heads out over a desert road to
take on a moving 18 wheeler (gasoline tanker of course) being driven by the
new Rutger Hauer - Jake Busey (who, BTW, looks 100% like his old man, Gary).

You can catch a glimpse of this ...'duel' by clicking View Trailer at the
bottom of the NY Times article. Wait for it if it's a tad slow loading.
Links work.

As silly 'he's the devil' hitchhiker movies go, this one wasn't ALL bad.

As Cessna taildraggers vs. rolling 18 wheeler movie scenes go, this one was
pretty good. I will give one thing away - unlike the bi-plane in Hitchcock's
film, N/NW, this plane does NOT fly into the side of the truck. That would
have been too easy. That gasoline tanker's just got to find another way to
blow up.

Kari Wuhrer is the actress who plays Maggie the pilot. Oo-la-la.
