CSI - So bad you can't turn away...

[pika]

So a light twin (KingAir 100 size) has a problem and ends of crashing. The CSI squad arrives on the secene and immediately focuses on the toilet as the problem area. Of course it's a 767 size lav but what the hell do I know. Under the toilet is a "bleed line" which looks much like your mom's old Filter Queen vaccuum hose. A screw from the disassembled toilet was used to puncture said bleed line which then allowed hot gases into the cabin. It was mentioned that the bleed lines are routed far way from the engines though for safety or such. So the bleed air leak developed which caused the engine to overheat which casued the crash. Case closed. Plus the damn Feds swooped in later and grabbed the black box so it was unavailable.

Now back to your regularly scheduled programming...

Don't worry, Horatio will save the day by cooly removing his shades and making a deep, soulful and heartfelt comment.

WTF over? as an aside YEAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHHH

[SkyWolfe]

haha so true, I love tv airplanes :p

[Doc]

I just can't watch movies/TV shows with airplanes. You'll see a Lear 25 tax up, then in flight the passengers will be walking around with drinks then the same people will deplane a 737.
Or, some idiot always calls final for runway forty-four....
The all time low, was McGyver escaping the cabin of a DC3 through the wheel well!

Or escaping with the airplane made of tarps and and engine from a cement mixer... the mythbusters busted that one though.

[Topspin]

One of my absolute favorites was Walker Texas Ranger, when . bends over, eats dirt, and then announces, "Plane crashed here."

Absolute worst goes to the boarding of Air Force One on executive decision though.

Another good one was on the movie Turistas when the Caravan is starting up/taking off... sounds like a piston. Why the hell wouldn't they just use the sound the Van produced on it's own.

HBO Band of Brothers

One of the C-47's taking off on D-Day.
The pilot is wearing David Clarks....hmmmmm

[iflyforpie]

Flightplan. Or any of the Turbulence movies.

I think it is funny how Airplane got as many technical details correct as they did when they were trying to spoof.

[Pratt X 3]

Mayday does it for me. Can't watch more than 5 minutes before I have to change the channel or risk throwing my remote through the TV screen. I know some people rave about it but I can't stand the way they present the incident.

[Just another canuck]

Pratt, you gotta ditch that avatar... every time I see it, I feel the need to go look at porn.

[Phlyer]

My favorite was the first season of 24 when Jack said 'bring me the fastest plane you've got' at a regional airport and the guy showed up with a Caravan.

[Lurch]

Top Gun

Opening sequence they kept switching between a F-14 and A-4

the Fancy mig is an F-5

"I'm going to slam on the brakes and he"ll fly right by"

Hard deck is 10,000'

Maverick starts in a flat spin over land and crashes 20 miles off shore

So many things wrong with the ejection that kills goose to list

The "F-5s" carrying exocet missles, they wouldn't be able to dog fight even if they were carrying them

"Negative ghost rider the pattern is full"

The negative 3G push over while inverted and taking a picture

Flame away

I rented Fire in the Amazon once because I heard Sandra Bollocks gets naked in it. (not worth it by the way, too dark and grainy.. )

Anyways, as they're running through the jungle, guys with AK-47's chasing them, this 185 on floats pulls up to a dock.

"Hurry!" the pilot yells, they all pile in. Next scene is shot from the back with the camera on the floor so all you can see out the windows is sky.

the pilot yells "Ready!?" as he grabs the 2 prop levers and pulls them into feather.

Next scene shows the 185 gracefully take to the sky.

But I'm sure only pilots notice this shit.

"I'm going to slam on the brakes and he"ll fly right by"

This was actually used in the Vietnam war, but during the vertical scissors, not a tail chase.

The negative 3G push over while inverted and taking a picture

It was the 'Mig 28' that was in the pushover. This is how they got the proof that it could still operate at negative G with its 'inverted fuel tanks'.

But the worst part is Tom Cruise's terrible off-key rendition of That Loving Feeling.

[iflyforpie]

Absolute worst goes to the boarding of Air Force One on executive decision though.

No way! The part where Steven Segal dies is the best scene in the whole movie!

[brokenwing]

CSI sucks ball. watch Dexter. if you want to see some super bad acting, law and order SVU.

What they protrade during the movie was a cobra which only a several aircraft can perform.

I understood the negative G deal, the whole scene was a joke, Inverted tanks in a fighter

A Cherokee 140 I used to fly and maintain was in the movie Blonde and Blonder with Pam Anderson and Denise Richards.

We painted up a Beech Musketeer for the crashed version (at the end of the clip). Sometimes you just have to work with what you are given.
