my favorite aviation resrepresention is an adam sandler movie (can't
remember name), where him and another convict or something land a
medium size twin on a mesa, (due to fuel starvation), and it tweeters
on the edge for a while

of course they make it out the back door, and as the plane falls off
the cliff it explodes like a supernova. (from what, the oil? they're
out of gas)

That doesn't sound nearly as bad as the plane crash at the beginning of "The
Net". This guy's flying along, everything's fine, and all of the sudden a
couple of smokestacks pop out of nowhere and smite his airplane. Not pilot
error, either...the evil genuises who form the basis of the plot of the
movie arranged it all.
