A TV movie was on here a couple of a weeks ago called On a wing and a

someone allowed it to be made.

It was awful wasn't it? But could we manage without awful films to
scream and laugh at?

One bit that got me was the pilot who takes off in his private jet in a
ludicrous fashion and then, in complete clag shouts at another aircraft
to 'get out of the way! At least I think that's what he said.

One of the worst aviation based movies I have ever seen. So how bad are
all the films based on other topics about which we know nothing?

They are equally bad or even worse, which is frightening. Most of what
people 'know' they get from Hollywood.
