The one I'm thinking of reduced that part to a couple of blurps with a screw gun. I think this might be it http://www.allmovie.com/cg/avg.dll?p=avg&sql=1:162251 IIRC, the flight attendant who rewired the fuel dump also made the landing. Wayne |

Why not a multicolored balloon?

It was $8k last time they listed it... http://tinyurl.com/54qbf Hey -- isn't that the one that has the amazing changing "N" number? :-) It seems to me that this movie has one of the biggest aviation gaffes of all time, showing a different Cessna on the ground than in the air.

Nope, I believe I saw the biggest gaffe recently in a stinkeroo about
terrorists taking over a 747 in flight. First a strike team was inserted into the jumbo via a modified SR71. Next a stewardess started a fuel dump by reversing wire-nut connections on two pairs of THHN, You mean, we *can't* dump all the fuel on an airliner overboard with a screwdriver? Dang. :-) -- Jay Honeck Iowa City, IA Pathfinder N56993 www.AlexisParkInn.com "Your Aviation Destination" |

How about the movie where Ahnold kills his seatmate just before the plane takes off, then manages to sneak down to the landing gear by cutting through a flimsy plastic cover....he never seems to pass through a pressure bulkhead. |
