Executive Decision Film - What Aircraft Does Kurt Russel Fly?

[peter greenstein]

Just watched the film, "Executive Decision" for the first time. It's a real
flightsim-type movie, in that it makes you think, could I land a real 747 if
I had to?

But my question is, what is the plane, early on in the film, where Kurt
Russel is taking flying lessons?

Have a read of the section "Aircraft Props" - maybe there is a clue in
there. I haven't seen this movie for a few years now, so I don't have
a recent memory to work from.

Waypoint was right in suggesting that we read the Props section of the
Wikipedia article. Acoording to Wiki, it was a Becchcraft Bonanza.

is a landing that you can be fined, sued, or prosecuted for.

To save you the trouble of reading the whole article, below is a snippet to
answer your question.......

"Kurt Russell is shown in an opening scene piloting a Beechcraft Bonanza.
Kurt Russell was actually flying the airplane and it is seen making an
approach into Chino, California. The scene is spliced into a ramp scene from
Van Nuys airport. The ground scenes were filmed in Van Nuys, with Van Nuys
standing in for Maryland".

Kurt Russell is a qualified pilot and has owned a number of aircraft.

Try to keep the number of your landings equal to the number of your
takeoffs.

Thanks much for this. So it's the 36, not the one with the V-tail?

I've no idea, Peter. I just Googled your question and came up with the
links.

It was a Beechcraft model 33. Originally they were called Debonair to differentiate from the higher priced model 35 V-tail Bonanza but eventually they just called it Bonanza and provided it with all the higher priced options of the model 35.

Interesting film from the actors point of view.
Steve Seagal is usually high profile and invariably "the last man
standing". First time I've seen him written out so early.

Yeah, I remember watching that and being surprised he left the story so
early!
