    Either of the above is the look any boss I've ever had has, if they believe I'm going to tell a joke at a meeting.

    I can’t believe someone hasn’t mentioned Iron Eagle. I talked about how unrealistic Pushing Tin was in another thread

    I watched the 1970 movie Airport and was really impressed at how well they did their research on ATC was handled.

    Kinda, it was a poorly produced production- certain minute details given long spanses of unnecessary time, a few plot points repeated, lengthy preaching, and just over the top portions that were not related to the real story at all.

    one point his daughter in back accidentally ate a peanut candy bar and was allergic, lots of time on her rescue by her sister while ATC sent them direct into a tropical depression….

    The real story is pretty interesting, though tragic with the pilot truly dying, but this was just poor extra plot added

    Even if that was a "magnum" 2.25 liters, how long would it run a big six? Three minutes?

    In the movie, it made the gas gauge go up a lot more than that!

    Long before the fuel problem developed, however, there was a large land area visible at their three-o'clock when they decided to fly through the lightning storm ahead of them! :rofl:
