What if...

I remember back in the 1990s me and my family where taking our usual vacation to Spain ,( I can't remember who we flew by ) but the
pilot came onto the microphone to introdue his crew and welcome us aboard.Well half way through the flight the captin comes onto the
mircophne to speak again ,burping and trying to tell us the weather situation and then asking his co pilot where we were flyng into.He
had no clue where we were going ,made me wonder if he had been drinking.I also remember the flight was an awful landing ,everyone
clapped as we landed just to thank him for getting us down safely.As soon as I got off the flight I checked I was at the right airport.

Hehehe...."Welcome aboard our flight to 'we don't know yet' ....

You gotta love those cheesey aviation movies.

What was that Steven Segal one where a 747 gets hyjacked (original idea ) and he has to try and kill the baddies by using an F117 Nighthawk with
some strange Star Trek: TOS docking hatch thing?

God I hope I imagined it

Those movies are great.

If both pilots were incapacitated, maybe someone on this forum who has never really flown (outside of FS) a day in their lives could use their
experience on PMDG or LDS to land the plane

Executive Decision - Kurt Russell, Oliver Platt, John Leguizamo and the very pretty Halle Berry.

Oh yeah, Seagal was in it for 15 minutes.

Which actually made the movie quite enjoyable in the end!

I thought "Otto" landed the plane in Airplane.

There is a *very* cheesy Soviet aviation movie Ekipazh (The Crew), where a plane is dispatched to a disaster (earthquake) area for
evacuation. On take off a lamp post starts falling accross the rnw and hits the plane. So they take off to see that the plane has a crack in
the aft part and that some control (or something) is damaged, then the Flight Engineer actually exits the plane in flight and crawls across
the fuselage to the engine number 2 intake and goes inside that intake and fixes the emergency )))))) The plane was a Tu-154, and the
slowest speed you can fly it is like 270 km per hour )))) also, due to that crack, when they engage thrust reverse, the tail with the engines
falls off. No fatalities. )))) oh well....
