Goofs

After Amy bashes the game warden with the popcorn bowl, Susan pulls one of the goslings from his hand. She is still holding it when Amy gathers up all the other goslings and runs into the bathroom with them.

The end of the movie mentions "all 16 geese including Igor", but there are a total of 17 geese including Igor. In flying scenes, 16 geese can be seen in the air while Igor remains on the ground or with Amy.

After Tom runs outside in his underwear, the lace curtain is visible in his view of Amy's window. From inside the room, the curtain is pushed to the side.

(at around 30 mins) Thomas and Amy are having breakfast. Jeff places his hand on his right cheek, and when he removes it, the right half of his mustache is missing.

When Thomas's plane crashes and Amy lands alongside, she is not wearing her nose ring. When she is shown back in the air, she is wearing her nose ring.

Although a radar (like the ASR-7 shown at the Air Force Base) can hypothetically detect a flock of birds and an ultralight, it's unlikely. Their low reflectivity and slow ground speed (the support boat said they were going 21 knots, about 25 mph), the radar would "reject" the returns as clutter.

On the second day of their flight while leaving the Air Force base, it is reported that they left at 5:00 am and you can see it is bright sunshine. During late October sunrise does not occur at Lake Ontario prior to about 7:30 am. So 5:00 am should be totally dark.

When Thomas Alden runs outside in his underwear, a defect in the window pane looks like some kind of fake coverup.

Though based on events which happened in 1988, the film is not set then, so perceived anachronisms are irrelevant.

In the first scene where the birds take off and start following Amy's plane the first time, an obvious green screen shot that should have worked, where Amy is laughing and flying in the foreground, and the geese are in the background, the continuity and effects staging people erred by lighting Amy from the FRONT, as if by the sun, when in the shot used of the geese , they are clearly being lit from behind, and low. There are similar lighting errors in other scenes, such as when both Amy and her dad are supposedly flying side by side, he's lit from the left, while she is lit from the right.

She puts an electrical connected inspection light into a tin which she places in a draw and opens the draw above to look at the goose eggs. There's a strong glow of light which looks as if it's coming from above but there's no where for it to come from.

Near the end of the movie, when Amy is about to land, the shadows of both Amy's plane and the crew's helicopter are visible.

When Amy and Thomas are flying through the Baltimore skyline, the buildings are too tall to be any of the Baltimore skyscrapers (it's Toronto).

The first morning in Ontario is set in springtime. But autumn foliage is seen several times as Amy observes her father flying the hang glider.
