Wrench 9,426 Posted November 13, 2009 Ok, lets start a little fun thread; find that obscure refercene in a motion picture, in can be about general, commerical or military aviation, and let's see who remembers what about what. I"ll start...and most importantly NO CHEATING!!! This means you can't use IMBD or other net movie sources. Just your brains and the DVD/BluRay or (shudder!) VHS The correct answerer should also post another question Have at it folks! -------------------------------------- In the John Wayne classic, "The High and The Mighty", WHAT is the mistake that puts the aircraft in jepordy, and WHO made it?? wrench kevin stein Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

+Typhoid 231 Posted November 15, 2009 Nav's fuel/wind calculations. I don't want to spoil it further. it is that - but I don't recall precisely. was it an error in head-wind calculation? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Wrench 9,426 Posted November 15, 2009 An error in calculation, yes. But not wind. Think 6080 vs 5280 wrench kevin stein Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
+Typhoid 231 Posted November 16, 2009 (edited) An error in calculation, yes. But not wind. Think 6080 vs 5280 wrench kevin stein yea, that would do it.... Kinda like smacking a satellite into Mars because one team calculated in one measurement and the other team calculated in another. OK, Wrench got it!!
