Yup. Although I hear DZ's performance is Oscar-worthy, everything else about the movie makes me want cringe.

What, the part where the captain is doing the walk-around in the rain?

That's Nobel material.

No, no, no... it's in the snow.

The FA working the throttles?

Picking it apart already, from the trailers...


Interior cockpit shots seem to be ( I'm not a Douglas man ) an advanced MD product...MD-90/95/717 ?

Inverted flight scene seems to be a Douglas BUT....with Winglets?

Hangar scene where the NTSB reconstructs the A/C is clearly a Douglas nose and walk around shots show the familiar MD strakes just below the cockpit.

I'm sure they had to purposely muddy the waters and obfuscate the identification of the aircraft ....for legal reasons.

What say you....the intelligentsia of Flight Info?
