The top mistakes in Airport 1975 http://www.moviemistakes.com/film1731 en Sat, 21 Nov 2009 06:55:11 +0000 28035 The pilot that is flying the small plane has a plaid suit jacket on when shown from inside the cockpit. When shown from outside the plane he has a light coloured shirt on. 128502 When the co-pilot gets sucked out of the plane, it's obviously a dummy. 40592 The 747 takes off from Washington D.C., while there's still some daylight, toward the west coast. Due to complications it's diverted to land in Salt Lake City. The Sun goes down and the plane is shown flying all night long. The Sun even comes back up before they get to Salt Lake. Really, how could it take that long for a jumbo jet to fly a measly couple of thousand miles? 143476 The Beechcraft Baron strikes the 747 from the front. This comes after Air Traffic Control has told the Baron's pilot that he is "Number two for landing behind a heavy jet." Even allowing for the Baron's pilot's discomfort & disorientation due to a heart attack, how does the small plane get turned around 180 degrees and on a collision course? 141563 The angle of the footage of the Air Force jet (from inside the 747's passengers' viewpoint) observing the 747's damage shows the Air Force jet would be flying <i>away</i> from the 747 instead of flying exactly parallel as the outside footage shows.
