FABULOUS movie.
HARD to believe that Bridges has been gone SIXTEEN years.
He has a real flair for comedy.

Call Doris Day for help. She did it.

Press the GPS Auto Land button?Sounds like a PLAN.
Now, to FIND said button...aye, there's the rub.
One would HOPE that said button is VERY large, VERY obvious and has "Press here, idiot!" written on it in garish green.

That was one of the original lines from
Zero Hour too. (Sterling Hayden was in the role, although the character was named Martin Treleaven instead of Steve McCroskey.)

The best most of us can do is run the sucker out of fuel and crash.
No fuel, no fire.

If it a recent made plane, especially an Airbus, they can pretty much land themselves with the computers they have on board.
To: Secret Agent Man
Jump out of the plane with the parachute and wish the passed out pilots a great in flight lunch and a good landing.

Except when the Airbus flight computer decides to land the plane, no matter what, when the pilots want to climb.
