on the same topic i just saw "6 days 7 nights" on cable last night.

pretty lame romantic comedy, but it portrayed the pilot as a off beat yet
responsible character - who even started to turn back before getting
trapped in
bad weather.

i wonder if harrison ford (a pilot) had anything to do with it - i can
see
him in a meeting saying "that's ridiculous" when a writer proposes a wing
falls

He actually did some flying for the movie (wing mounted camera shots), and
liked the D-H so much he bought one for himself shortly thereafter.
