I can tell you the worth Airport 78 the one with the Concorde....Boy that was really bad and a fake.. Angry

The good one and Inspirefull for me was The Langoliers (1995)from stephen King,David Morse as the Captain Brian Engle,really for the first time,someone Act like it should be Driving a Boeing 747,I mean with the controls of the plane,GREAT movie,NO like Kurt Russel In a Executive Decision movie were he lands a 747 in a very small field without a knowledge of flight just with a help of Halle Berry,he broke the front gear,also they made somekind of exchange between a B1 or F117 and the 747 they open a door in the lower side of the plane at aprox 35000 feet,were is that imaginary door?, too fakefull......for Chris sake another baaaaad one

I really like your topic lilley, gave me the chance to talk about airplane movies

IMO, that was based more about the ground guys. The crashing of the UH-60 was just filler I'd say. Still a great movie and an even better book.

For me it'd be "Those Men and Their Magnificent Flying Machines"
