DC10FE Posted September 15, 2013 Share Posted September 15, 2013 I watched this movie last night. Since there was a C-130 featured in the beginning, I drove my girlfriend nuts pausing & rewinding while trying to make out which one it was. She finally called a halt to my doings, called me an idiot and said it was a computer generated model. After that, we just sat back and enjoyed the movie. As usual, though, the film industry took some liberties & used a 727 cockpit for the interior shots. Pretty good movie overall, though. Don R.

SEFEGeorge Posted September 15, 2013 Share Posted September 15, 2013 Yeah Don, decent enough movie. They always take some liberties that's for sure. I must drive my wife nuts doing similar stuff. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JimH Posted September 16, 2013 Share Posted September 16, 2013 If a movie has any airplanes in it, my wife refuses to watch it with me! She says I spoil the movie by pointing out all the mistakes! The woman has no sense of humor . . . Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gizzard Posted September 17, 2013 Share Posted September 17, 2013 Yeah, Hollywood takes liberties, mostly to do it on the cheap. If they would show some of the stuff we actually did with the old girl, nobody would believe it!!!!!!!!! And yes I'm the same way watchin' aviation movies or documentaries. Especially the crap the History, Discovery and such channels...................... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SEFEGeorge Posted September 17, 2013 Share Posted September 17, 2013 I watched a movie some years ago about a hurricane in Florida. Don't remember it's name now, but it was right before I was going to LR to start on Hercs. They showed a Hurricane Hunter Herc flying into the storm and an engine developed an oil leak, I think it was. Anyway someone looked out the window and said it was an induction oil leak. I already had my -1 and was reading through it to get a head of the game. I looked at my wife and said "BS, no such thing." Well, maybe that was an omen for her. We split a couple years later.
