Hey guys,
I know this is a bit off subject, b ut seeing there are experienced pilots on this site, I wanted to ask a question about the airport films, 69 to 79.
Hvae any of you seen them, because I want to ask if the situations the characters are put in are true to life, cos to me they looked ridiculas. lol. There is this scene i the Charlton Heston film, where a private plane hits the 747 cockpit window, killing 2 of the pilots, and injuring the other, leaving a big hole in the side. The air hostess (I know, lol) is forced to fly the plane by herself, until Charlton heston takes a helicpter, to the flying plane and gets himself in to land it.
The last 2 inlvolve a 747 landing under the sea, with a rescue misson pulling the plane up and getting the passengers out, and one with a concorde doing somersaults in the sky at 31 thousand feet trying to get away from a missile, (I guessed the last one to be really unrealistic, just for film).
Mike
