Help me track down an old arcade game, if you can...
I used to visit a really awesome arcade called Copper Cue (it was actually a pool hall too) in Wichita, Kansas. It was the height of coin-operated video games, and I would usually have my birthday parties there.
On one, single visit, I played a really fun game that I have never seen since. It was two player and each player controlled an airplane with a hook attached to the tail. You shot at enemies and if your airplane got shot, your character jumped out and landed on the ground where he/she could find another mode of transportation. I remember a pogo stick, riding on an elephant (?), a bicycle, etc.
You could also jump up and grab the hook on the second player's plane and ride on the back, swinging around on a rope or chain.
Does anybody know what this was?

It might have been known by its alternate title as well, The Great Ragtime Show.

Video footage of said game, including the "Konyi Island", haunted house, museum and Christmas levels.
