cwalker-04551 Review of On a Wing and a Prayer

On a Wing and a Prayer (2023)

I watched it being a fan of Dennis Quaid. Too much dramatic license for me.

As far as the air traffic control scenes, I found the movie to be a bit far-fetched. I'm not a pilot, merely passed the FAA private pilot ground exam. Nobody thought to inform Mr. White, the pilot in command, that to try to land a "heavy" aircraft full of fuel, that trying to land in a populated area, could risk hundreds of lives other than his own family. I'm not sure how much of the script was taken from actual "black box" flight records but man. I love drama, but the script was sugar sweet. Don't get me wrong, I'm very glad the Whites survived. There was just wayyy too much excess drama. And I like drama, but not that much.
