oceanicairlines Review of Flying Virus

Flying Virus (2001)

A shallow basis, but a good movie to laugh at how silly it is.

[5/10 · 5 April 2006]

I am a pilot, and am very familiar with commercial aircraft, but the scenes in this movie contain several different aircraft, until they finally choose a poor computer generation of a Boeing 767-200ER for Inter-Americas flight 209. However the cabin and flight deck are right for the aircraft unlike many movies today. I love the cabin attendants, the best service I have ever seen. Just watch and you'll see why Michelle has to be one of the best flight attendants. The story it's self is very predictable, and the acting for some of the characters is subservient. But overall it is a good movie to sit and veg with on a Friday night, how ever I don't like the fact that it doesn't make you think, other than how unrealistic this is. Also a passenger who has no flying experience, could not ever under any circumstances land a 767 on a field. The aircraft comes in for a landing at 160-180mph, and handles like a bus, so the ending is unrealistic. However it is true that that aircraft can make a landing on a field, it has happened, but only with an experienced crew.
