It was my impression that those scenes were intended to have a
somewhat retro look to them; Tarantino wasn't going for realism there.

A "retro" looking 747 in flight, that we're supposed to take seriously? We
laughed out loud!

I believe that attempt at style falls under the "Nice Try" heading, which is
alphabetically just ahead of "Sucks"...
