Most people today think it improper to discipline children, so my brother tried other methods to control his kids when they have had one of 'those moments.'
Since he’s a pilot, one method that he found very effective is for him to just take the child for a short flight during which he says nothing and gives the child the opportunity to reflect on his behaviour.
I don't know whether it's the steady vibration from the engines, or just the time away from any distractions such as TV, video games, computer, iPod, etc.
Either way, the kid usually calms down and stops misbehaving after their flight together. He believes that the eye to eye contact during these sessions is an important element in achieving the desired results. 
I've included a photo below of one of his sessions with a child, in case you would like to use the technique.

Brilliant!

Wow. That kid gets around. I've seen the joke before with him on the front of a car while it goes through a speed trap at triple digit speeds. It's still funny, whatever the details.
