Yeah
But as a pilot, watching a scene like that would completely take me out of the movie. It would be like watching “Captain America” or “Spiderman” - mindless fluff.
And it’s not just planes, the same goes for guns, cars, you name it.
It has to be believable or it is fantasy.
But, see; most people aren’t pilots and find a lot of things
plausible that real pilots find to be fantasy. (I was also
joking about a pilot not being able to land on a river.
Captain Sullenberger did it in a commercial plane with a
planeload of passengers; however, he had been all business
all his life and flawlessly conscientious - the man for the
job - prepared his whole life for that one BIG terrible
emergency. I know what you mean, though. The deal in
“Jurassic Park” where they had fully grown prehistoric trees
ready in a few months took me out of the movie and diverted
my attention to trying to figure out HOW. We have been out
here on the river for over 30 yrs. & our trees have grown a
lot - but not that much. Also, when the herd of dinosaurs
were running past some people, it was like the “noise” of
a herd of balloons flying past instead of HEAVY animals
stampeding. I guess it was best I didn’t live back in
cavemen days. I’d have probably decked Grog in the head
with a rock & FANG would have REALLY been my “husband’s”
name. :o)
