    Storyline

    Did you know

    • Trivia
      At the end, when the Jenny barely clears the building, then descends out of sight, then reappears, these scenes were taken from "The Spirit of St. Louis" which starred James Stewart. It was the scene where Lindberg had bought the Jenny and was taking off.
    • Goofs
      At the end, when Phillip Carey, Diane McBain, and James Best are in the Jenny, when they start to taxi, there is a cable visible from the landing gear spreader bar that goes out to the right - obviously being used to pull the airplane forward.
    • Quotes
      • Jericho Larkin: To Chick Carrington :You know what, you're the only man I know who's mean enough to have a good time in hell.
