• There seems to be an uptick in Political comments in recent months. Those of us who are long time members of the site know that Political and Religious content has been banned for years. Nothing has changed. Please leave all political and religious comments out of the forums.

    If you recently joined the forums you were not presented with this restriction in the terms of service. This was due to a conversion error when we went from vBulletin to Xenforo. We have updated our terms of service to reflect these corrections.

    Please note any post refering to a politician will be considered political even if it is intended to be humor. Our experience is these topics have a way of dividing the forums and causing deep resentment among members. It is a poison to the community. We appreciate compliance with the rules.

Mad mad mad mad world-flying scenes.

Brilliant. Very impressive knowing it´s not CGI. What would insurance companies think about that nowadays...
 
probably revealing what an old codger I am but I recall an atricle when the film came out that showed how they flew the Beech through the billboard. They constructed the frame with a small amount of clearence all around and made a lightly constructed panel to cover it. They painted a large "X" on the back at dead center and it was the pilot's(Paul Mantz IIRC) job to put the nose on the X. You see the results on screen
