“OH, NO WAY!”
If you are a pilot and you watch television shows or movies that feature aviation, chances are good this phrase comes out of your mouth from time to time. Very often Hollywood takes liberties with aviation.
When Hollywood Takes Liberties with Aviation
Often when we go to the movies or watch television, flying becomes fiction.
Key Takeaways:
- Movies and fictional TV shows often misrepresent aviation, frequently defying aerodynamic principles, using mismatched stock footage, or creating unrealistic scenarios for comedic effect.
- Reality television and news reports can also misrepresent aviation, either by sensationalizing routine events with dramatic editing and narration or by disseminating factually incorrect information due to a lack of expert knowledge.
