The thing that drives me nuts is in movies when the characters are taking a long haul flight and it shows like a regional plane or a 737. It always makes me roll my eyes lol
There are long haul 737 flights..
@@HS-DBQaren’t very common though. There isn’t much long-haul routes that a 737 can serve anyway
@@Snowy-oq4ur HS-DBQ aren’t very common. I know that.
yes me too
A TV show, “Arthur” has an episode about adoption from China. It shows Binky’s family flying to China on a 727, overnight. 👎🏻
Another episode features some live action and somehow their A320 in live action turns into a 727 in cartoon.
“This movie isn’t an aviation movie, it’s a movie where the main character works as an ATC”
Say that again but slowly...
LOL
Jorge Abreu LMAO I THOUGHT THE SAME THING
Jorge Abreu lol that does sound odd but it’s not, just like if a movie has someone working for KFC, it’s not a movie about food you get me?
That is an easy way to get to federal prison.
@@Aviation18 well KFC ain't food so
"You can always go around"
*swiss001 reference*
"If it don't look right coming down"
"Don't wait until you're sideways, maybe sliding on the ground"
you can alwaysssssssss go around.
@@supnnn9239 no.... he didnt invent that song funnily it has always been on yt
Former USAF here: in the Olympus Has Fallen Scene you're correct in saying that the AC-130 would have been intercepted long before reaching the city, including all of the circumstances surrounding it like the implausibility of the theft happening secretly. I can add a few more items of my own:
-While using F-22's to protect D.C. works, since a major squadron of them is based to the south in Virginia, the nearest AC-130 base is all the way in Florida. They would have to fly a very, very long distance to get that plane to D.C., plenty of time to get caught.
-The F-22's would not intercept any airplane with a "side-by-side" approach like that. It's an incredibly stupid tactic that leaves too many openings. Instead, fighters intercept by having one airplane fly close to the left and slightly ahead with the wingman hanging back behind the target with a finger on the trigger.
-The AC-130's guns are portrayed completely wrong in the air-to-air sequence. They do not have guns on both sides of the airplane. There are a total of three weapons mounted on one side of the plane, as it is designed to "orbit" around a target with those weapons focused on a ground target. Modern gunships typically have only one rotary gun (and some don't even have that), with the other guns being heavy cannons like howitzers. It's also absurd to think they could hit a target in the air, as their range of motion only allows them to focus on a target on the ground, so they don't move that much. The F-22's in the scene needed to be perfectly lined up with these non-existent gun ports in order to get hit.
Overall, just a very implausible scene for anyone who knows these aircraft. I literally laughed when all of that was going on because the setup is just so ridiculous and requires not only people being completely blind and stupid to work, but also uses a configuration that has never existed. Great video, thanks for sharing it all!
Cyborg Spaceman I’ll also add that the C-130, from what I understand, has a separate crew to manage the weapons. There aren’t any switches and buttons in the cockpit for the pilots to operate the weapons
The assumption is that the aircraft was American - C-130's are not exactly rare anywhere, if you looked hard enough I am sure the Russians have a couple. And then there are the civilian variants. Two days in a paint shop and you can make a C-130 any colour you want.
The real difficulty would actually be inserting a military flight plan into the system to Andrews Airforce Base for an inbound C-130 from somewhere outside radar and communications coverage. Modified C-130 is then inserted to the planned slot out of coverage - much more difficult now with satellite communications.
Allan Gibson actually in a shot of the -130, you can see it says USAF on it. So it is an american -130
Were you a pilot?
The F-22s could've also ejected, right?
More with Home Alone:
1. At the time the movie was released, no airline out of ORD had a morning departure to Europe. AA didn't start its morning flight to LHR until after 2000.
2. At the time of the movie, AA flew either 767-200ER or 767-300ER, depending on the season. A friend of mine, who has been an AA pilot since 1989 has been ORD crew base since 1990 and knew some pilots who were flying ORD-ORY, when the movie was released.
3. The DC-10 in the movie is the domestic -10 series and lacks trans-Atlantic range. The international -30 series has the center main gear. At the time, the -30 only flew out of ORD to Honolulu.
Bro knows his stuff 🗿
Still here in 2023 :)@@Snowy-oq4ur
Also, it says they landed at Paris orly airport, where almost no international airline lands except for the ones in Europe for short flights like Ryanair, Iberia, transavia and stuff, all international flights especially the ones from USA land at Charles de Gaulle
@rokiesensei I live in Paris I’m French don’t worry I almost never depart from that terminal as most Air France planes are parked in terminal 2 😂😂
@rokiesensei It's easy. Just avoid Star Alliance airlines to CDG. If you're an American, avoid United when going to CDG.
There are a couple more things in the "2:22" movie.
1. When the cockpit of the Stellar Airlines flight is shown, you can see the positions of the pilots are switched (The captain is sitting on the right and the F/O is sitting on the left).
2. When the Stellar Airlines is shown from the back after it touches down, you can clearly see that the "A330" is actually a 777-200 with photoshopped wingtips.
what movie
2:22. That's the title
@@Frydee123 i thought you mean jurassic world because the timestamp is perfectly then when jurassic world is a topic
im a big fan of the JP/JW series and i couldn't remember anything you just said 😅
now its clear
@@dylbanan140 oh haha 😅
Do you also noticed both aircraft showed airbus planes yet the cockpit showed boeing
The AC-130 cockpit was a 727 cockpit
The cockpit the A330 is also incorrect.
Jesse Karhiaho i was thinking exactly the same thing.
Surprised that didn’t get a mention....
I saw the V shape on the AC-130
727 actually. Still has the panel behind the FO
true
Tom Hanks did an interview about "Sully". He said when he meets a character he's going to play ,he tells them " I'll be saying and doing things you didn't do". Pretty much what happens in aviation movies. Hanks said he tries to get a sense of the character at least. Thanks for the video.
Oh wow that's really interesting to know, Thanks
8:20 you forgot the stellar a330 turns into a 777x with a330 winglets
yeah lol
I agree
And from the inside you can see that the cockpit window became of a 737
i agree too
Yeah ur right but why magic a330 turns into 77x with a339 winglets
The AC 130, and all the gunships, only fire to the left. So the first clip is hilarious...
3:03 American still kept a couple of their aircraft in the old livery like the 737,757 and I think a 767.
Jayden cooper I have a picture of a American 737 in the old livery I took it in 2017
They only kept one 737 in th old livery
Jurassic World came out in 2015. American still had a few 757-200s in this livery due to there impeading retirement. That is not a mistake.
They have 1 737 and a bunch of erj 140's in the silver livery
AA had 767s in the old livery, back in 2016. The 757 is correct.
I am more worried about the last scene, where the close-ups show 737-style window frames, when the ACFT is supposed to be a 330.
Furthermore, I am not quite sure...but I think to have read somewhere, that Home Alone was shot at ORD's T1 - while AA operates out of T3.
There is a similiar-looking hallway, leading towards concourses H & K, though.
The bigger "error" and peeve I have about that scene in "Olympus Has Fallen" is that they show the flight crew operating the mini-guns. The AC130 carries multiple other crew in the back who fire the guns, not the pilots. The idea that a crew of two can fly, target, and fire multiple independent guns all at the same time is worse than even assuming they could steal a USAF C130, fly into DC airspace, and not be noticed or challenged before they get there.
And the AC-130 only has guns on the port side, not both sides. The aircraft operates by orbiting its target in a left turn in a manner to keep the rotary cannons and the big howitzer cannon on target.
Home alone 2, they let Kevin board the aircraft without checking his ticket.
That sort of thing could happen at the time that Home Alone 2 was made. My grandparents got on the wrong flight on one occasion. It's fairly plausible.
@@PortlandAviation Yeh Pre 9/11 was a completely style of flying
Pre 9/11
Pre 9/11
AviationInVegas Well, this was 1991
The American Airlines 757 bare metal paint scheme is believable for the time. The airline has and continues to maintain what are known as legacy aircraft, with liveries from previous eras and airlines that have been absorbed over time. Though the current bare aluminum scheme is borne most recently by a 737NG.
If memory serves correctly, AA took more than 2 years to repaint all their aircraft. And some were not repainted at all. The MD 80's, for example, were left in their original livery because AA was going to phase them out, anyway.
Correct. @@fosterfuchs
5:56, in this scene you can see it's a A330 because of how the APU Exhaust looks like.
Then at 6:31, it turns into a 777-200 or -300 with A330 Winglets. *Clap Clap Clap*
I actually thought he would mention that but he didn't so BRUH
Ur right
CGI animation at its best
Is it just me or is the ATC tower in 6:33 Sydney’s not JFK?
Bruh
6:33 Bruh
This one word actually describes the entire video.
6:28 - So were not even going to acknowledge the fact that the amount of wake turbulence / wind produced by the two aircraft would have made them both super unstable!
wind ? seriously ?
no we're not because its not called WIND
ProGamerRD7 Gaming Correct me then
Rayan Altowayan Correct me then
@@My_AviationChannel wake turbulence dude
The no.3 happens all the time, boarding one type of aircraft and landing in a completely different one.
Michael Bergmark What you don’t know is half way through they actually flew to planes next to each other and reboarded midair much like the refuelling of a plane.
@@joshuam20you mean they using a literal skybridge to connect midair? 🤣😎
the unfortunate part of stock footage is things like that…and the whole Sully equipment timeframe issues as well
@@bostonrailfan2427 Yeah, almost sort of like the passengers transfer scene in the movie Speed 😂
2:12 The biggest blunder for me is that the inside footage is clearly a 737NG and the pilots are using the trim switch to shoot there mini guns...
yes
Actually, it's not an NG.
Lol
Kai Murtagh hi kai
@@paddymcc7460 oh hi there😂
I always noticed this one mistake that drove me crazy..
In Melissa McCarthy's SPY, there are two short establishing shots of airports that are supposed to show the audience that the character has travelled. First they claim to land in Paris, but it's a shot of a Blue1 717, and the airport kinda looks like Helsinki - then they claim to land in Rome, but it's clearly a shot of a LAN A320 landing in Santiago de Chile...
I was gonna mention Spy (2015), since it absolutely drove me nuts. The LAN A320 shot was recorded not only at my home airport but in a spotting point I often visit. It's hilarious
In Airport 75, the 747 in question is flying a "redeye" from Dulles to LAX.
Problem 1 is that redeyes are eastbound flights, say leaving the Wrst Coast between 11pm and 1 am for an arrival at 5am and 7am.
A flight leaving Dulles at 10pm ET would arrive at LAX at 1am PT.
Problem 2 is Salt Lake as the alternate for LAX. SLC could be an alternate for SFO, although that is still some distance.
An LAX alternate would more likely be Phoenix or Las Vegas.
8:13 they put winglets on a 777-200
You can see at 5:55 that is an A330, so the winglets are ok, but then, as you said, at 8:13, you still a plane with winglets but now on a 777
Exactly
Also they put an A320 RB211 on an A330 lol
@@JayJayAviation ahah lol
You can add winglets to a plane. Many 727s and 757s have been retrofitted.
Also Sully, the engine changes from CFM to IAE and back and forth between every shot
08:15 looks like the Sydney tower in background
lol I saw it
Sydney tower appeared in JFK, non sense
5:59 Emirates in the back ground
I also saw Emirates airbus a380 and i think it is All Nippon Airways or air china I'm unsure and i think it is boeing 787.
@@moosetheantlered94 The Qantas jets are Stellar Air jets but ye
MasterNite It might possibly be a China Southern 777-31BER as they fly that on the CAN=JFK route
6:08 Transaero and two Delta jets
@@frenchchicken2799 there are Qantas jets in 6:00
“Punch it” :D How much more “punch it” can you get when the engines are already at take off thrust?
Peizxcv T/O thrust does not perse equal maximum thrust.
I view "Punch it" as a quote from Han Solo! 😉👍
Peizxcv I’m not sure about Boeing because I do most of my research on the airbus side of things but airbus has a throttle “setting” known as flex so that way you don’t use all the engine but if needed you can exceed to full thrust. I’m not sure if this translates well
Welcome Make sense
@@germeister6917 The Getaway, Steve McQueen. "punch it, baby"
In the film “left behind” they show you close ups from outside of the cockpit but first it is a b747 cockpit and a bit later it’s a A320 cockpit and in the and they crash with a b737...
In “ flight“ The MD-80 has got winglets😂
yep 10/10 movie I mean MD-80 should have winglets for efficeincy
Nobody calls me Mad Dog! lol
6:13 You missed the thrust settings... The plane is taking off on idle thrust?... and when told it sets to 50%?
Haha lol i noticed
I didn't even see that. There were just so many errors in the clip ..haha
I missed that cuz I was already cringing too hard
The whole scene made me cringe that much I feel sick 😂
and how the A330 landing turned into a 777 with canted winglets
The tower in "2:22" is Kennedy Tower. However, at timestamp 8:15, the plane gets magically teleported to the Land Down Under because (I believe that is) Sydney Tower (SYD/YSSY) on the left side with its iconic outdoor staircase, bump-outs, and top floor.
Good spot. Looks like a landing on 16R seen from the international terminal.
8:20 A330 turnes into a 777. And New York JFK turns into Sydney SYD.
You mean an airbus 777 because if you watch the wings they still have the a330 winglets
Uh
Yep! ATC Tower is SYD Iconic Tower at 8:15
No, A330 stays A330
The repainting of AA's fleet went all the way to 2017. So it's not unlikely that there was several 757s flying in that livery at the time the movie was filmed.
merged in 2013, movie filmed in 2014…it’s likely that few actually were repainted then and probably not ones used on lesser routes like a route to Costa Rica as was depicted
On the last one you have missed one. The stellar Airlines A330 is usually pitched up, and would almost stall, but still managed to land some how.
You can always stall around
I wonder what Kennedy Steve would say about that last clip... probably telling the pilots of the plane taking off “They must think your plane has VTOL capabilities” or something along those lines.
6:31 Shows plane landing runway 16R at Sydney kingsford smith airport, not at JFK.
Considering this movie was made in Australia and nearly the entire cast is Australian then it makes sense they would have used that footage but well spotted
Haha
@@MrThedwp I didn't know that. Well, I actually have never seen the movie..
@@DomoniqueMusiclover LOL I don't think too many people have seen it. Hell before this video I hadn't even heard of it haha
@@MrThedwp haha
Also, for the airtraffic control one at 8:28, the plane with the red tail magically changes from an a-330 to a 777 - a-330 hybrid thingy that doesn't exist...
Neither do those two airlines exist. So let just say it’s a type of aircraft which is indigenous to that particular universe.
@@CaptainM792well generally movies about near crash scenes like this do not have real airlines in them i think you could see how that’s problematic
If you really go into the details, you can see at 4:03 on the upper ECAM that there ware three main engine indicators, namely EPR, N1 and EGT. This configuration is only present on an A320 with IAE engines. The actual A320 of US Airways were equipped with CFM engines, therefore, only 2 main engine indicators should be present on the upper ECAM (N1 and EGT) :)
Difficult to spot, but in the movie Airplane, I'm almost 100 percent sure I saw a mistake if some sort.
Yes! The one, and likely only, mistake was the fact the inflatable autopilot had different colors when the movie came out.
I seem to remember hearing propeller engines when showing a jet aircraft...
I heard they wanted to use a prop plane, weren't allowed, went with a B707 but said whatever we're keeping the sound lol @@dx1450
1:48 And they are in a 737 cockpit......
4:45 - January 2009 is before the Delta/US Airways LGA slot swap happened. While Delta definitely had a significant presence at the time, you probably would not have seen so many Delta aircraft waiting for takeoff (especially E-jets)
When you bring up the 757 landing in the old livery your forgetting that they were still a few 757’s in the old livery during that time, heck even today I still believed a few American airline planes are stilling flying around in the old colours
3:51
As a Parisian guy, I’d like to add that AA never and will never operate at ORY
6:32.... Thats why we watch your videos 😂😂😂 well made
At 7:18 you can see at the JFK scene, the a330s gear isnt tilted, the a330 gear is normally tilted
"American dc 10 turns into a 757"
*harry potter and lliunami plays*
2:03 Even in 2015, there were still a few American Airlines 757s painted in the old livery
3:03 you know this movie was probably shot in 2013,Edited in 2014 and published in 2015
And there is still some old american airlines 757 with the old livery
Oh yeh no, I get that, I'm just saying for it to make a bit more sense it would've been better for them to get footage of a new livery 757, I mean I'm pretty sure there even some old liveries flying now
@@Aviation18 Also, I've seen Jurassic World once, but does it state in the movie like with subtitles or something that the movie events are actually taking place in 2015? Because it's just fiction, I'd probably let that one go.
@@alecairpaag For a while it was supposed to be in 2005 but later it was changed to 2015. I don't remember why though.
Also note: in Sully, the pushback scene showed IAE V2500 engines, even though the actual aircraft had CFM56 engines. The rest of the movie got it right, though.
Except for the fact on the radar tower the aircraft was shown as "USA1549" when it should have been "AWE1549". Easy mistake to no.
8:14 you can tell that is the control tower in Sydney Australia, and not JFK Airport
Your right. A quantas 777 wont be in jfk XD
The aviation mistake that always gets me is in "Catch me if you can". While on the plane back to the United States there is a scene were Leo is looking out the window at JFK (I think) and mentions runway 44. I don't know how something like that even gets into a script in the first place let alone makes it into the final cut.
I am faster than how many mistakes can be pointed out
the "2:22" movie had the Stellar airlines a330 approaching JFK but when the scene of Touchdown is played, it shows Sydney Tower and Terminals.
The ac-130 has guns only on one side as well.
...and gunners.
@6:44 THAT SCENE IS SUCH BULLSHIT: PLANES CAN DO ONE VERY SIMPLE MANOUVRE: A GO AROUND! boom whole movie solved 😅
3:05 AA didn't repaint all their planes right away, and they kept some in the old livery.
theboredbrowser I have a picture of a American 737 in the old livery I took it in 2017
Ryan R AA has a heritage livery in the 738, it still flies now
fun fact, the movie sully was made in 2016. By then united airlines had most of their 737s with the split scimitar wings. The ones that didn't were in the hangar getting them. United airlines didn't want to remove the new split scimitar wings just for the sole purpose of a movie shot. So what they did is just put the continental livery on the planes and then repaint it back into the united airlines livery once the movie was over.
2:58 some American Airlines 757s were still using the old livery
6:50 we don’t have any Chick-fil-A near JFK tho
The Jurassic World “Mistake” isn’t one because their are some old livery planes even today
Tru
3:46 This shot made me felt like that the cameraman didn't have time to shoot the AA DC-10 or the cameraman's camera's battery died or he didn't have enough time to turn his heads up and press the "record" button. so he recorded the AA 757 and pretended that there's nothing wrong with the movie.
Maybe if Kennedy Steve was working it that wouldn’t have happened lol
At 6:00 in the background ther is a Qantas 737-800 & Air New Zealand A320 at JFK.
"Sully" was based on a real historical
aviation event...
*_and some how fails to make sense with the La Garuda Airport scene_*
Nasrul The Bunny finally someone get it! Lol, I’ve had so many comments saying it’s just a movie and it was filmed in 2016 😂 Thank you
0:49 as an addition: When intercepting an airplane just one fighterjet flies beside the intercepted aircraft. The second one is always behind it and ready to shoot it down.
I mean the American Airlines fleet probably will have still had a few old livery 757s in 2015
SplashDown Gaming They definitely did, I flew on N174AA (which was a One World logojet) in October 2015 and that was definitely in the old livery
6:26 Qantas worrying about Project Sunset while Stellar Airlines is already serving JFK-SYD in a fraction of a second... Step up your game, Qantas 🤭😂
American still had some of the old liveries on the 757 in 2017
That last clip made me laugh so hard I have a stomach ache. It was ridiculous, completely ridiculous.
2:12 AC-130 have B737 cockpit ?!!
That last one had me rolling. There is not much they could have done worse in that scene. Really bad!
Bro did I see da c-117 or something??!! just turn it into baby c-117 at 0:41
I always loved the ac130 guy using the trim to fire the machine guns
"punch it"
*Goes from like 20% to full thrust*
Chewy get us outta here, punch it!
The last scene that red a330 becomes a 777 with a330 winglets , must be super efficient, lol, I'm happy to know I'm not the only geek noticing this little things lol
5:30 *ATC controller* ay , ‘AirTrafficControllerController
Any aircraft going into a dive seems to use the audio for Jericho's trumpet which was the siren fitted to the Ju-87 Stuka in WWII for dive bombing. The C-130 in The Mummy 2018 being one such example.
7:00 an go around?
Indeed the launch airline for the split scimatar was Continental Airlines back in 2013 as part of their test for eco friendly fleet. They also for time had some 738 using bio fuel.
Great video man! Believe it or not, (in reference to your #5) in 1974 someone actually did hi-jack an Army helicopter from nearby Tipton airport and flew around DC and ultimately landed the on the south lawn of the White house. Its worth reading about!
I believe a Cessna landed on the White House lawn in the 90s, too.
But the original point does still apply. Even if you were able to just walk into a military aircraft at Andrews, start engines, taxi, and takeoff, there's no way you'd be able to do that without anyone noticing. Forget shooting the guy out of the sky, the pilot wouldn't even make it to the runway.
Now, let's say a spy managed to get enlisted and was dispatched for training. Then the guy might have a chance to at least start a turn towards DC, but that is unlikely to last long. I don't know much about training exercises for military, but I know enough that they have designated airspace to train in. Deviate from that, and you're a major risk for other traffic, even if you were just an idiot and made a wrong turn. They'd pick up on that very quickly and ensure you don't get any closer to DC.
7:39 & 6:30 both planes are an airbus but in this shot the stellar airlines plane suddenly turns into a boeing you can tell by the cockpit window and its distinctive tilt down and it also turns into a 777-200 with photosopped winglets and it also looks like it has 3 tires on each side of the landing gear and also that dosent look like the same engine
8:29 you didn't spot the control tower in the backround that actually belongs to Sydney International Airport
He said that it was part JFK and part SYD
In Top Gun, the cockpit scenes show the top latch wheel installed in the ejection seat (clearly visible over Tom Cruise's left shoulder). An aircraft would NEVER fly with the top latch wheel fitted to the ejection seat. The top latch wheel is a specialist tool used only to remove an ejection seat from, or fit an ejection seat to an aircraft. It is returned to the toolkit, flying with it installed would mean that the moment the pilot inverted the aircraft, the seat would probably fall from the installation and very probably through the cockpit canopy.
It's pronounced "Simitars" not "Scimitars."
BRUH is an understatement. I’m no ATC, but even I have enough common sense to say something about this.
1. There’s no way in hell this guy didn’t get fired after that. Any ATC in the real would would’ve been fired on the spot and probably blacklisted.
2. NOBODY INTERVENES!? There are three other ATC workers who are just staring at this guy and not one of them jumps on the radio to tell the incoming plane to abort and go around?
3. Even if they (ATC) didn’t, both pilots would’ve acted. The incoming pilot would’ve called for a go-around, and the outgoing pilot would’ve aborted the takeoff.
Edit: I posted this before you gave your thoughts, so that’s why it looks like I’ve copied what you said.
It often takes several years for an airline to repaint it’s entire fleet, especially if said fleet is a rather large one. There were plenty of 'Classic AA' liveried aircraft flying around in 2015. So making this one a point is pretty weak. You’re absolutely correct about the last one though. I haven’t seen the movie, but in aviation terms that scene is ABSURD.
Yeh I think I should have made my point a little clearer. You are absolutely right but I just mean it would of just made more sense for them to add the new livery. I get there would still be old liveries around but it would just make more sense to have the new livery in there
One that hit me was in I guess the Warehouse 13 series. When the characters fly to Europe in one episode, the text in the pictures says "Budapest Airport" while it's clearly the old Tempelhof Airport at Berlin with its distinct arc-shaped teeminal building...
Another one: in Kubrick's "Dr. Strangelove" at some point you can see a B-52 flying low over, well, "Russia" with its shadow visible below. Only that the shadow is clearly that from a B-17 (which apparently was the camera plane for the outside shots. The BUFF is clearly a scale model anyway).
Dude that “brah” was the best thing to add to that scene. Been an airline pilot for over 6 years now and can attest that the scene made me cringe...then I laughed...then I cringed again... “punch it” Jesus Christ imagine how quickly a real ATC would be in prison for that stunt at JFK
Not to mention "Kennedy Steve" would have hung him out the tower to sway in the wind.
Extra point in the final scene - at 8:13 in the background there is the Sydney control tower instead of New York...
In the 60s I was watching a black and white war movie in Germany. The paratroopers climbed aboard a DC-3 but bailed out of a B-25.
3:00 TBF American kept that livery on the 757 for a really really long time. theres still 1 or 2 757's flying in that livery today.
The biggest glaring issue I see with the first one is the AC-130 having guns on the right side of the aircraft
Crash landing is one of those movies , the aircraft in the story is a 747 but as it takes off it is missing the bump.
Another was hijacked I think it shows the aircraft taking off a 707 when shot from underneath it has the undercarriage of a b52 which is a unique configuration
I never realized that you pilots are such nerds with some impressive attention to detail😂 Some of these guys are talking about flights in the 70s/80s not leaving until certain times, and the flight stations/cockpits being identifiable based of an APU switch. Props to you guys🙌🏻
my biggest movie gripe occurred recently with Golden Circle where the passengers will be on one type of plane, but the interior shows a completely different one. in Kingsman it's evident where - from memory - i believe they are flying on a BBJ 737, but with a VIP interior of at least an a350 if not a 777 or just a small apartment.
On Home Alone you are correct that the plane they flew from Chicago O Hare to Paris France was shown at first on a DC-10 and when landing fades to a 757. However when taking off from Paris they show the nose of an MD-80. Mcdonald Douglas never used there MD-80 series planes on Long haul over the ocean flights. And though the main characters mother makes it only as far as Scranton PA it fades back to a DC-10. Even though she stopped in Dallas before Scranton. Clearly the Scranton airport in Wilkes Barre PA never accepts heavy aircraft. It’s a small regional airport that only takes narrow bodies or regional aircraft.
Another one is that the aC130 has guns outside it and visible always. It only has one machine gun, along with some heavier weapons. That are also only placed on one side as it is meant for ground attack in large circle movements, not for aircraft engagement. So a big screw up there.
I may be mistaken, but I believe on the A320 that the lighted seat numbers on the PSUs only come on when the boarding door is open. They wouldn't be lit in flight unless all the passengers pressed their attendant call buttons at the same time.
Also the ATC one, the plane landing missed the touchdown by football fields 🤣🤣🤣
Also in Sully, there are a few shots where they show the A320 with IAE V2500 engines.
Also in 2:22, The ATC says "Runway (Idk the runway numer lets say runway 20) So He Says: Runway 20R Cleared for takeoff While He should have said runway 20 RIGHT instead of R.
Started watching a Swedish series about terrorists hacking an airplane. However, first officer has made the walk-around, briefings and informed the rest of the crew and is ready for the push-back when the captain arrives, like that’s a normal thing to do.
