What is the mans name from the movie Cast. Sorry i digress, there are issues witht he Castaway planes that i can be anal about and nitpick. Item : 333412145 The Critics Choice Award Winner for Best Inanimate Object (2001) is also a fan favorite on the court. In Tom Hanks' 2000 movie Cast Away what is the name of the volleyball The volleyball was named Wilson as in the name of the manufacturer of the ball. the guy in avionics compartement in the nose of the 747 uses his personal laptop to hook into the airplane and deploy the spoilers and such. Over all, the plane parts were better than most airplane disaster films i've seen (my all time favorite so far is Turbulence 2. I went to see Castawy about 2 days before i hopped a jumpseat on a MD-11 to Sydney, i thought it come in handy as a "reference video". but he never is shown gettig onto any particular plane. In the movie, you see good old Tom run towards an Airbus. Theres a lot less room in a MD-11 jumpseat area than there is in a A310. The second "doomed" flight to KUL(i think) was an MD-11 mockup. to be really picky, the first plane he boarded was an A310, the plane in Moscow (which has an uncanny resemblance to the LAX ramp). there are some others, but i think i've made my point it's prevented by the boom valve closing once he wasn't in contact.Īnd don't even get me started on how a 747 wouldn't get any damage from a kc-10 exploding not 100 feet away from it. and it wouldn't scrape with enough force to ignite the fuel.ĥth- you wouldn't have fuel gushing out of the boom like that after you disconnect. if you screw up enough you can bend it to where the nozzle 'peeks' at you. and in any case the boom operator would have disconnected af1 before a brute force in all but the most unlikely of circumstances.Ĥth- the boom scraping on the fuselage like a match hitting a matchbook.the telescoping pipe of the boom is not that rigid. you'd get a brute force (literally) disconnect way before that because the toggles that hold the boom in the receptacle release at a certain stress level. and then it's with them 1000 feet below us.ģrd-the part where the boom was breaking at it's attatchment point to the fuselage because of stress from being pulled by af1.there's no way it could happen. it's even worse with pilots who are just qualifying.Ģnd- the tanker doesn't pass the reciever plane like like passing a car on the freeway to rendevous (except with the c-130's).
i've had the pleasure of watching experienced pilots who were once a/r qualified try to requal. i'll try to make these explanations as short as i can.ġst off- you can't just take any pilot (even a highly experienced airline pilot) toss him in the seat and expect him to be able to refuel.

The Mr.The refueling scenes on air force one were just laughable. This replica of the actual ball used in the movie has a top-quality, synthetic leather cover for great touch and feel. 483033 Wilson Cast Away Volleyball 19 19 EUR OutOfStock /Accessories/Accessories By Sport /Accessories/Player/Games & Activities /Sports Equipment/Garden Games & Activities /Sports Equipment /Brands/Wilson /Christmas Gift Ideas/Accessories Gifts/Toys and Games /Black Friday/Black Friday | Accessories/Black Friday | Sports Toys and Games The Critics' Choice Award Winner for Best Inanimate Object (2001) is also a fan favourite on the court. ⛟ New Zealand 2 days from dispatch €13.97 ⛟ Worldwide fast delivery with DHL Express Northern Ireland 1-2 days from dispatch €3.99 ⛟ Northern Ireland & UK Delivery with Royal Mail Delivery cost may vary depending on weight, destination or dimensions of the package.
