The "air-gun" exhaust plume was rather obvious on the shot as the car
left the ramp. I don't know for sure but I suggest they drove the car
along the deck a bit (not at anything like 109mph), stopped and then set
up the ramp-exit shot sans driver. I know a bit about ski-jump dynamics
and that car barely fell off the end. Still, I'm sure everyone had fun.


Or do like the US Navy did. There's a clip out ther of them using a
catapult to launch a car off the deck. I was somewhat disappointed as
I was hoping they'd really crank the juice up and LAUNCH that sucker
but it looked like it only went far enough out so the carrier wouldn't
hit it or something.
