Storyline
Mel Bakersfeld is the hard-charging manager of Lincoln International Airport, trying to keep his airport open despite a raging Midwestern snowstorm and an angry wife. Meanwhile, his antagonistic brother-in-law, Vernon Demerest, may have his plans for a placid layover in Italy disturbed by unexpected news from Gwen Meighen, and by the plans of the D.O. Guerrero, the loose cannon on board. Written by Steve Fenwick <scf@w0x0f.com>

Revealing mistakes: When the aircraft is seen flying out of the clouds from the outside, it is clearly rising nearly motionless among clouds of mist. In reality, the "clouds" would be moving quickly past the aircraft as it flew forward through and above them. See more »Quotes
