Thanks but, I don't think it was that one I was thinking of :-/


I know you also don't mean the pilot "Rosie" played by Brian Dennehy in the
film "Never Cry Wolf" but there was a memorable scene in that movie where
the engine of Rosie's plane starts to falter and...

Rosie: Take the stick... Aaaaaaah!
Tyler: What's wrong?
Rosie: Boredom, Tyler. Boredom - that's what's wrong. And how do you beat
boredom, Tyler?... Adventure. Adventure, Tyler.
Tyler: Where are you going, Rosie? Rosie, what are you doing? I can't fly
this thing! What do I do?

....and Rosie has grabbed a tool (a wrench?), opens the door of the plane in
flight and steps onto the wing struts to fix the problem.

Wish I knew what plane he flew in that scene - it was a real patchwork of
ugly repairs.
