Has anyone seen this movie? Looks a little over the top.
Over the top movies are sometimes ok. I'll probably see it.Has anyone seen this movie? Looks a little over the top.
It just doesn't seem to be very realistic in both the fact a drunk could fly a plane better than someone sober and the fact I don't think a passenger jet could fly upside down that way.Over the top movies are sometimes ok. I'll probably see it.
If I only went to movies that were realistic I would probably have a long wait between visits.It just doesn't seem to be very realistic in both the fact a drunk could fly a plane better than someone sober and the fact I don't think a passenger jet could fly upside down that way.
If you see it post a review.
i'm curious about that one, too. i don't think a passenger jet could do that from an airframe point of view. as for the drunk in the cockpit, scary as it is, there are incredibly talented drunks out there who make the rest of the normal non-drunk population look like rank amateurs, in any field/demographic.It just doesn't seem to be very realistic in both the fact a drunk could fly a plane better than someone sober and the fact I don't think a passenger jet could fly upside down that way.

Here ya go..."PBS Television aired a historical film of a test flight of a Boeing 707 doing a barrel roll, going inverted during the maneuver. Being momentarily inverted during a barrel roll is not technically flying upside down, however, it does support the notion that a commercial jet liner [the 707] was able to be upside down, even for an instant, and recover and land safely."
I remember pictures of this when it happened, since a barrel roll is (normally) a 1G manuver it should not be structurally a problem.
