This is my curse, as well. Your film is set in the desert surrounding ancient Egypt. WHY ARE THERE CACTI?

I get it, my dad worked in corporate aviation, my aunt worked in commercial aviation, and I worked in cargo aviation. I also have a little second hand knowledge of military aviation. Anytime there's something with planes in TV or film, I cringe.... well except for Airplane! but that should go without saying.

Airplane! is the best aviation movie ever made, you cannot change my mind.

Surely, you can't be serious?

I am serious, and don't call me Shirley!

I couldn't agree more, why I remember the first time I saw Airplane! it was during the war, my wingman George Zipp suggested the film while we were on R&R. I agreed to go with him, more to keep him company than an actual desire to see the film, but to my surprise I actually enjoyed it. On our way home we stopped by a disco.........
