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.

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......................

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.
