May 22, 20215 yr Hi, I know, I know these movies were ridicilous. Still, does anyone remember this movie were the protagonist is around 50-55 years old, very smart and with a kind of diplomatic based job who lands the aircraft (of course) safely on the airport. I think it's was not kidnaped, just half of the fuselage was fell apart and was still flyable ^^ I remember, that this guy had prior some flying lessions and knew the basics of flight. That's all that I remember, does anyone know the name of this movie? I guess I had seen it in the early 2000's on TV. Probably 1980's or 1990's production line.
May 22, 20215 yr This doesn't ring a bell. Sorry. However, my favorite Hollywood aviation movie has to be "It's a Mad Mad Mad Mad World". The part where Jim Backus give the wheel to Buddy Hackett kills me every time. If you've never seen this movie, do yourself a favor and watch it.

May 22, 20215 yr Author I think it has something to do with national security and the president of the us was involved ^^ Sorry, may be I will remeber some more details, it been too long in the past.
May 22, 20215 yr Sounds a bit like Executive Decision from 1996, starring Kurt Russell. He was just about to solo at the beginning before getting swept up in movie madness. Rashid Yacine
May 22, 20215 yr Sounds like Executive Decision to me. it's preposterously overblown, but it's good fun. Interesting fact about this movie; some people were critical of this movie by claiming it was the inspiration for the 9/11 attacks and gave the terrorists the idea for what they did. I guess the people who made that stupid claim had never heard of WW2 or the Kamikaze attacks, or heard of any of the numerous hijacks of airliners in the 60s and 70s.

May 22, 20215 yr Author Yup, thanks guys. Was looking for exacly this movie ^^ I have just watched trailer: Interesting how bad my memory is, It's pretty much about kidnapping lol and I thought that Russel had white hair in that movie. Anyway, I think, i am gonna watch this again ^^ Good old days 😄 Edited May 22, 20215 yr by 737_800
May 22, 20215 yr I'd recommend 74Gear's YouTube video: Maybe after re-watching the movie Rashid Yacine
May 25, 20215 yr Crazy thing is with Executive Decision is the bad guy is "Hercule Piorot" and is it just me Steven Segal was never in the poster or main credits. That was strange How I Evaluate Third Party Sim Addon Developers Refined P3Dv5.0 HF2 Settings Part1 (has MaddogX) and older thread Part 2 (has PMDG 747)
May 30, 20215 yr Crashed plane survivors are menaced by a heard of wild baboons, Sands of the Kalahari (Stewart Whitman). 1966 Crashed plane survivors have to fashion a small single engine plane from their wreckage of a much larger plane, and fly out, Flight of the Phoenix (Jimmy Stewart). 1965 Both stories are in the desert and water is scare. I get them mixed up. 5800X3D, RTX4070, 600 Watt, one or two 1440p 32" screens, 64 GB RAM, 4 TB PCle 3 NVMe, Warthog throttle, VKB NXT EVO stick, Honeycomb Alpha yoke, CH quad, 3 Logitech panels, 2 StreamDecks, Desktop Aviator Trim Panel.
