Default The Worst Aviation Movie of All Time

In a different vein, if you're looking for the worst, as in, "This
movie is so bad I can't watch it without gagging", I think I have a
candidate for you. It's a TV movie from 1996 called "Panic in the
Skies!". [...]
Initially, the entire crew of a 747 is killed when the plane is
struck by lightning (yeah, right). As the hapless passengers are
flying across the country on autopilot, the autopilot "picks up
signals" from small airports along the way and keeps trying to land
the 747 at GA airports. [...]


Ouch, that _does_ sound bad. Okay, how about that recent one where
the airplane's trim (and throttle?) were stuck in an "up" position...
so they used a hose from an aerial tanker to fill the nose wheel well
with water (which froze into ice)... and when they got close to the
ground it melted and fell out when they dropped the nose gear. What
was that title? Awful !!!
