Gloria Swanson: Young man, you think this thing will not fly? In 1917 I was flying in something wilder than this. Do you know who the pilot was?
Bill: Wiley Post?
Gloria Swanson: [Chuckles] No. Cecil B. De Mille and we flew from Hollywood nonstop to Pasadena. Yes, and on the way home we did loop the loops so I could see the moon upside down.

Trivia
Shooting overlapped somewhat with the tail-end of production on Universal's "other" disaster film of 1974, Earthquake, forcing Charlton Heston, George Kennedy, cinematographer Philip H. Lathrop and producer Jennings Lang to juggle their schedules between the two films. This movie was released first. See more »Goofs
Errors in geography: The wife of the Baron pilot is seen at the Salt Lake City airport with a TV reporter. However, according the the plot, she lived in Boise, Idaho, which is more than 300 miles away. If the local airport was closed due to bad weather, there is no way she would be able to make it to Salt Lake in such a short amount of time. See more »Quotes
