Goofs:
Revealing mistakes: A Boeing 707 has ten cockpit windows, including two smaller "eyebrow" windows above each pilot. These windows are seen in all exterior shots, and in some of the fighter fly-bys shot from the airliner cockpit. Through most of the movie, however, the interior arrangement of the cockpit windows includes one full-sized window in the cockpit ceiling above each pilot. No airliner matches this window configuration, revealing the cockpit to be an elaborate set.

This old-fashioned disaster film is not bad, despite a few slips into soapy silliness (the flashbacks). Charlton Heston is commanding as always (when he says "Nobody dies on my airplane!", you believe it), and there is even a little Agatha Christie-type mystery in the beginning, concerning the identity of the mad hijacker. (**1/2)
