I'm not sure of what's going to be tested exactly (Wikipedia says "Can a person with no flight training safely land a 747?" and I've heard "Can a plane take off while on a conveyor belt going the opposite direction?") but tonight's MythBusters is an "Airplane Hour" special. Might be of interest to the aviation geeks who lurk on this fine forum.
EDIT: Forgot to mention, it's on at 9pm on the Discovery channel (27 on Cablevision).
