Bad Aviation Films
Family Flight starring Rod Taylor (1972). Their Navion’s prop gets bent during a forced landing in Baja. They bang it straight with a rock. Goes downhill from there.
That plot and footage were recycled into a 6 Million Dollar Man episode called "Pilot Error". It was no better than the original. Only in this episode, Steve Austin unbent the propeller with his bionic arm. Then, once airborne, he sent Morse code to the ground controllers via the ident button on the transponder.
