Does anybody know the name and possibly have a link, to a movie or tv series from most likely the 80s that involved a person who has some kind of bird/flying suit. In particular a scene involing a sports car coming out of a hay filled truck and sprouting wings.

wasn't that a james bond film where a jet falls out of the back of the truck, the wings unfold and he flies off?
i'd imagine roger moore era

edit: my mistake it was in Octopussy and called an Acrostar Jet. the gins fold up vertically and it was a horse trailer it came out of:

either that or Scaramanga's car that he drives into a barn and gets wings & jets attached to it to escape mr Bond:

During a car chase with Bond, Scaramanga drives the Matador into a disused barn, which was housing the plane section (two wings and a jet engine). Scaramanga clamps the plane section onto the top of the Matador and uses it to fly away from Bond.
