I saw the original Phoenix, and it was pretty bogus, too. Almost
anything Hollywood produces that has airplanes and flying in it has
some outlandish flight behaviour, pilot talk and mechanical setups. As
a pilot and mechanic, it gets painful sometimes. No wonder the
non-flying public is so misinformed and scared. I would imagine that
Hollywood hires technical advisors to keep the aeronautical themes
accurate, and then ignores their advice anyway. Got to make it
spectacular, you know.
