Airport 1975 - Second Pilot Transfer

After the first attempt failed, it's now Alan Murdock himself, who is going to get transferred into the 747, but will he succeed or will he face the same fate as the first pilot?

I saw this movie at the theater back in late 1974 and I remember the audience applauded this scene.

George Kennedy has one of the most realistic responses at 1:38 that I’ve ever seen in a movie.

The times this bring back - the simple timeless story of man standing up and saying 'Hell no, i won't go". As I grow older, and remember these movies and these times, I almost cannot watch without crying. I know, it's just an old movie and I know sound maudlin. When I look at my 17 year old son and think what his future holds in this deteriorating country, I cannot help but weep.

Other thoughts: I remember the blood being orange in the movie. Still makes me laugh. I wonder if I ever flew the Tweet that was in formation during this scene? I loved, loved, LOVED the music from the movie. My older brother and I darn near wore out the record when we were kids. Charlton Heston is a stud.

[@HuasoPodrido]

It can be done providing that the airspeed and altitude are within certain parameters. of course if your Mr. Heston this would be much easier than parting the Red Sea.

In later years, when the cable channel WTBS (later shortened to TBS) would show this movie, they did a preview trailer a couple of days before. The trailer ended with "Lots of suspense. And Erik Estrada (who played the flight engineer)" - followed with the shot of Karen Black screaming.

You were lucky; on my flight two dudes in front of me kept talking jive which the stewardess didn't understand until Lassie's mom kindly volunteered to translate and to the back of me the President of the Small Businessman Association was trying hard to pick a girl up but she brushed him off by saying she likes her men like her coffee: black. The captain was always asking boys if they are into gladiator movies and don't even ask about the quality of the food-the fish made everyone sick. Never going to fly that airline ever again.

[@lardy70s]

@@m.e.d.7997 definitely. This was more believable. The first one was garbage. For a 1970 film it looked like something from the 50's. Airport 77 was bullshit. The Concorde one was crap.

[@m.e.d.7997]

She did such a fine job in this movie. She really was the star of this.

[@roquefortfiles]

@@lardy70s I've always thought the same thing about Airport. Made in 1970. It looks like 1952 style film making. A very different style. I kind of have soft spot for that "Classic" movie look but yeah i totally thought the same thing. I am a huge fan of AP75. Love the real plane photography. Fabulous on a big screen.

[@MrRaulstrnad]

yeah the cinematography on the first Airport was weird It was made in 1970 but it had an odd archaic feel to it like it was a color movie shot in 1955. Airport 75 was far the best, you are right about Airport 77 and Airport79@@lardy70s

Loved when Alan made it on the plane.

[@roquefortfiles]

If this was reality he would likely be pinned to the side of the plane from the 200 mph slip stream and barely able to move. And the wind coming through the blown out hole would be so loud Karen wouldn't be able to hear a thing. I mean the plane is going 250 mph. It would be a roar. When you open your window on the freeway it is bloody loud. Going 250 or 300mph?

I don't know much about Karen Black. But, I heard she was a good actress. She will be missed.

[@heavenlylight2007]

Dont know much but can a helicopter fly ahead of aeroplane? I think it dont go that fast specially in 1970s

[@lardy70s]

This was a Jolly Green Giant Jet helicopter. The 747 had to fly at it's lowest speed for the Jolly to keep up. This was a great stunt considering it was all live action and no bullshit CGI. A very risky stunt, especially with stuntman dangling within 30feet of a 747 in mid flight!.

[@secondwave5813]

1:48 - a bear hug that means something.

[@KoolKman]

Yessss!

[@1867Phoenix]

If This plane was flying from Washington DC to Los Angeles, why would it be anywhere near Salt Lake City? Wouldn't Las Vegas or Phoenix be closer. Logically they should be flying over the Grand Canyon or somewhere a little south of that . And if you think these airports could not handle a plane this size you're wrong. The American Airlines DC-10 that Crashed upon takeoff from Chicago O'Hare on May 25th 1979 (American 191), originated from Sky Harbor Airport that same morning. That real life tragedy was only 4 years after this movie came out. If this flight was headed to San Francisco this diversion might have made sense.

[@strikerdelta]

If you watched the film, LAX was socked in zero/zero with fog, and Salt Lake International was their alternate landing point.

[@U2QuoZepplin]

IT would have been funny 😂 (as in sick 🤒) if they had tried this move several times because they kept losing pilots and they only gave up on the 20th or 50th attempt. So there’s a trail of dead or half mangled pilots strewn about the length of their latter flight path as they approach their destination.

Funny how that’s the same airline from airport 77

[@roquefortfiles]

No it isn't. The 747 in AP 77 says "Stevens"

[@bhinbayoucity5691]

Not actually, the one in Airport 75 was Columbia Airlines (public commercial airline), the one from Airport 77 was a private jet owned by a corporatikn named Stevens Industries, the only thing common was that they were both 747-100 series models, AND painted similar color schemes. 😊

[@puapake]

Yeah tell the passengers, forget about ATC or the company

[@SunsetSupermanRMB]

Airport 75 fast fact: There was actually a UFO caught on film while shooting this scene, look at 2:26, in the top part of the frame you'll see a really fast object shoot by from left to right leaving a vapor trail. PS, I said from LEFT TO RIGHT, that means I'm not talking about the small plane in the upper right hand corner.

this film is utter sexism

[@jgodinski207]

Ain’t it great!

[@caroleargo]

Is this true in real life? Has a pilot ever been transferred to another plane while in flight?

[@lardy70s]

I read somewhere that an attempt by the USAF tried a mid air transfer but with fatal consequences. Whether that's true or not is a different matter?. I don't think it could be done personally. The air speeds on both aircraft would have to be exactly right with no variants. The distance between both aircraft would be dangerously close to one another. Lastly the rescue pilot would be dangling like a stone rather than what's shown in this video. The wind and forces on the rescue pilot would be so extreme.

[@roquefortfiles]

@@lardy70s Technically i think it is possible. But once the transfer pilot made it to the 747 I would bet he would get pinned to the fuselage from the slip stream.

[@joserenatomoreira]

Can anyone please explain to me how a helicopter can go as fast as a commercial airplane? And how can it climb that high? This movie makes no sense.

[@lonmcq7317]

They are below ten thousand feet, and at a fast approach speed, 140 knots or so... Not a problem for a jet helicopter...

[@roquefortfiles]

Jolly Green helicopter can do 220mph . The 747 can slow to about 180 full flaps. Totally possible. They actually did this for real save the close ups
