At the airport Ivan and his pilot are preparing to start the engine. The plane is a small open top two seat plane with one propeller on the nose. Indy and Sallah ride up to the airport and see Ivan preparing to leave.
Indy: Sallah, try to find something useful in that hanger. Maybe you can slow them down. I'll get the sector.
Sallah: I will try.
Indy rides up to the wing of the plane's left wing and jumps off the horse and on the wing.
Ivan: (to the pilot) It's Jones! Get him!
The pilot gets a gun out and fires a shot but misses. Indy gets close enough to smack the pilot causing him to drop his gun outside of the plane. Indy pulls the pilot out onto the wing and they start to wrestle. Meanwhile Sallah looks in the hanger and sees a big long chain used for towing. Sallah gets the chain and attaches one end to a steel beam in the hanger. Meanwhile Indy and the pilot are rolling down the whole length on the wing as the wrestle. Ivan gets out his gun but doesn't want to shoot his pilot. Indy and the pilot get on the ground and are fist fighting and are fighting their way to the front of the plane. They grapple each other again and the pilot grabs Indy from behind and forces his face in the direction of the propeller.
Pilot: (to Ivan) bring the plane closer.
Ivan jumps into the cockpit and grabs the controls again and moves the plane forward toward Indy. Indy can't seem to get free from the pilot's grip and the propeller is getting closer to chopping Indy into pieces. Sallah comes from behind with the chain from the hanger and attaches the free end to the planes back wheel. The plane's propeller is just a foot away now and the wind from it blows off Indy's hat off. The propeller is inches away now and just about to cut Indy into ribbons when the plane can't go forward anymore because of the chain. Indy then head butts the pilot, breaks free and knocks him out.
Indy: (To Sallah) Sallah, get the horses ready!
Sallah: Right Indy!
As Sallah is getting the horses, Indy climbs on the wing again. Ivan sees Indy but before he can fire his gun, Indy jumps at Ivan. The two wrestle for control of the gun when several shots are fired at the propeller. The bullets ricochet of the propeller and hit Ivan in the chest killing him. Ivan's body slumps down on the controls causing the fuel release valve to be hit and the accelerator. The plane starts spilling its fuel, and the accelerating speed is causing the back axel to start to tear off where the chain is attached to the plane. The plane goes forward a few inches and gas starts spilling on the head of the pilot which causes him to wake up. Indy reaches for the sector and jumps out of the plane to be faced with the pilot who is soaked in gas now. The pilot grabs Indy and thrusts his head against the side of the plane a few times. Indy falls down and gets out a lighter with a four-leaf clover on it. The pilot challenges Indy to get up, but Indy lights the lighter and puts the flame to the gas soaked pilot and he burst into flames. Indy runs from the plane, while the pilot starts rolling on the ground and rolls into a puddle of gas causing an explosion that catches the plane on fire. Just then the axel tears off completely and the fiery plane starts rolling forward faster and faster down the runway. Sallah brings the horses and sees Indy running.
Indy: Let's go!
Indy gets on the horse and the two are about to ride off when the plane crashes in a wall and explodes causing the propeller to come wheeling at Indy and Sallah!
Indy: Look out!
The propeller rolls right between the horses and falls to the ground.
Sallah: I think you better leave Cairo for a long while my friend!
