Jay Leno banks a Vision Jet at 45 degrees
The airborne Short makes an unusually fast start, while Travis Barker brings a deceptively traditional Impala to the garage.
Why this story? The video opened at a pace of 222,945 views a day, 12 times a normal first day on this channel (17,968).
Jay Pulls a 45 Degree Bank in the Vision Jet
What changes when Jay Leno takes a corner in the sky? In a Cirrus Vision Jet, the steeper bank brings noticeable g-force, with altitude to hold as well as a turn to make.
"Jay Pulls a 45 Degree Bank in the Vision Jet" takes the familiar motoring host away from the road. The description explains that Leno rolls the aircraft into the bank, then rolls it back out. That brief flying lesson drew an estimated 223,000 views in its first day, roughly twelve times the usual start for a Short on Jay Leno's Garage.
Among the responses, one viewer points out that the voice they initially took for Leno's belongs to the pilot. Another notices the embroidery on his familiar shirt. The small details are a reminder that even in a cockpit, viewers are watching for the recognizable Jay.
Back on the ground, Travis Barker's visit is also drawing an unusually large early audience. The Blink-182 drummer brings a 1959 Chevrolet Impala convertible whose classic exterior conceals a modern LS3 engine in place of its original powerplant.
The car is black on black, with wire wheels and a Continental kit that stretches its already lengthy silhouette. Leno remembers seeing that model new as a child; Barker brings a version built to cruise with considerably more muscle under the hood.
