Nope, I believe I saw the biggest gaffe recently in a stinkeroo about
terrorists taking over a 747 in flight.

How about the movie where Ahnold kills his seatmate just before the
plane takes off, then manages to sneak down to the landing gear by
cutting through a flimsy plastic cover....he never seems to pass
through a pressure bulkhead.

It's okay. It was aviation grade Tyvek.

Dunno 'bout that, yawn hasn't crashed his yet. Then again, he still
can't find anyone to fly it.

Can't beat the "6 Million Dollar Man" series for really low budget
effects. Ever notice no matter what aircraft he was flying they would
always show B-52 gear retracting.

Come to think of it, some of the 50s giant ant movies were really bad. I
saw one where the aircraft changed from a T-33 to an F-84 inflight and
the narrator explained the changed by saying they dropped tanks. The
never did explain how they turned 2 wing root intakes into one nose intake.

I must say I was disappointed by the flying scenes in "The Aviator" --
not enough of them, and the XF-11 and Spruce Goose never looked like
anything other than Photoshop-generated images :-(

And what about the scene where Howard and someone are walking off,
trying to think what kind of wood to build it out of... I mean, it's not
like spruce hadn't been a standard aircraft construction material for
almost 40 years at that point.

Sheesh, in a movie about an aviation legend, they could at least make an
effort to get the aviation facts straight.
