Keeping titles "still" while video clip is in motion? (Keyframing?)

I have a clip of a plane that is parking in an airport and I want to put a title across the top of the wings and have the title "sit still" and in line with the wing as the frame of the camera moves from right to left. Is this possible? Been scratching my head for almost an hour now trying different key frame tricks and looking up tutorials on YouTube. Also I want to distort the title a bit more so that it would be able to match the curve of the top of the plane, but I am having trouble with this as well. Should I separate the three words into separate titles so that I can manipulate them more specifically?

Thanks everybody!

The most convenient way accomplishing that is usage of this $$ plug-in from coremelt.com TrackX

here is a tutorial howto use it

gives superb results, allows 'perspective' etc etc ....

'Just' tracking is a feature in Motion5; but that 'tacks' a title only, getting smaller in distance etc is not really supported (with some 4-point tracking tricks etc)

Doing it manually, just by key-framing the Transform- and Distortion-tool usually gives stuttery results ....
