This movie will be right up there in accuracy like "Air Force One."
Or more like "Capricorn One"
ROTFLMAO! Why do people have to make things so complicated? Hell its only
a
30 minute flight (60 miles or so) at the most by a CH-47 from
FtDix/McGuire
AFB to Manhatten. It would take a lot longer than that to load or unload
them from a C-5.
Because he WANTS the C-5 to land in Central Park.
And besides, uh, ahmm, oh, the helicopters were allready loaded on the
C-5 to go some where else when they decided to steal them! YEA, THAT'S
THE TICKET!
Well how the hell are you going to rescue anyone from a window on the side
of a burning building anyway? You can't get a helicopter that close. As for
landing on the roof, through the smoke, updrafts, no problem righttttttttt!
What a bunch of BS.
You might want to review the news coverage of the Las Vegas hotel fire
at the MGM Grand about 20 years ago. Both window and rooftop
extractions by helicopter were accomplished. Noteworthy was the fact
that Korean War hero Boots Blesse was among the guests rescued.
