DC10FE Posted September 27, 2018 Share Posted September 27, 2018 (edited) Did anyone else watch the pilot episode of "Manifest?" I don't now if they had a technical adviser or not; probably not. The first 737 scene in flight is a -300 series or higher because of the flattened lower engine nacelles. In subsequent scenes on the ground, it's an older model. Then in the inflight cockpit scene, it shows a 3-engined airplane instrument panel. I don't think it was a 727 -- didn't notice any fire handles. And finally when ATC asks the captain how many passengers he has on board, he replies, "191." Puleeze, give me a break. The normal passenger configuration for a 737 is around 130, more or less, unless it's a stretches model. Interesting show otherwise. My girlfriend hates to watch aviation oriented movies or TV shows with me for obvious reasons. Don R.

0495 Posted September 27, 2018 Share Posted September 27, 2018 Also caught the 737 type difference. The new MAX has the larger seating size. Typical an airplane is an airplane though process for the average TV viewer. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
