Even some of the corny cliches — slapping someone across the face to calm them — somehow lent an air of quaint charm. I also noticed how cheesy the long shots of the plane, with the stars in the background, looked.

All I said was that the runway designations for fictional Lincoln International Airport in the movie are not the same as in the novel.

Runway 22 and 29 do exist.

During the movie they got the termanology and FAA regulations right, KUDOS.
