This film shows the age-old problem of trying to transfer a good book to film. Too many changes were made that shouldn't. In the book Janet is only 2 and a half, not much more than a baby and still in diapers. She is not easy on the trip, but not bad either. The ex-wife is not a rival pilot but an actress who has custody of the children but doesn't really care about them. When she goes up with her ex-husband as a spotter, she falls asleep and misses seeing them. The love interest is a girl reporter. If they hadn't made these changes the movie would have been so much better!
