I think it is Cinemax that have been running this 1997 film recently. I was mildly amused by it. It begins with JFK shots of Tower 747-200 N614FF loading and taking off. Besides painting it with a logo for Transcon Airlines, they also fiddled the 1 in the tail number so that it reads N644FF. I didn't check the aircraft on the field at LAX at the end. The interior shots didn't look too bad. They seem to have been in a 747-400 mockup of some kind, because they use a two person flight deck with CRT displays. There are lots of unbelievable things in the plot: flying a 747 coast to coast with about a dozen passengers (excuse: it's Christmas day), federal marshalls behaving in unprofessional ways with prisoners in transit, both pilots leaving the flight deck at the same time. If an airplane on autopilot were caused to invert by extreme turbulence, would an autopilot know enough to fly a while upside down and then get the plane back into level flight rightside up? Don't know if I can test this with MS Flight Simulator........ One interesting bit is that one of the prisoners took out the soft soap pump from the lav and found it to be a stainless steel stilletto suitable for stabbing a marshal in the abdomen. How many weapons can a hijacker find in a big airplane? Axes? Fire Extinguishers? Screwdrivers?
