Image:Airport 77 movie poster.jpg is being used on this article. I notice the image page specifies that the image is being used under fair use but there is no explanation or rationale as to why its use in this Wikipedia article constitutes fair use. In addition to the boilerplate fair use template, you must also write out on the image description page a specific explanation or rationale for why using this image in each article is consistent with fair use.

Please go to the image description page and edit it to include a fair use rationale. Using one of the templates at Wikipedia:Fair use rationale guideline is an easy way to insure that your image is in compliance with Wikipedia policy, but remember that you must complete the template. Do not simply insert a blank template on an image page.

If there is other fair use media, consider checking that you have specified the fair use rationale on the other images used on this page. Note that any fair use images uploaded after 4 May, 2006, and lacking such an explanation will be deleted one week after they have been uploaded, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. If you have any questions please ask them at the Media copyright questions page. Thank you.

"This film's story is very loosely based on the novel and 1965 film adaptation of The Flight of the Phoenix in which a military aircraft is accidentally ditched into the Sahara Desert (instead of the Bermuda Triangle in the Atlantic Ocean)"

Um...yeah. Having seen both movies, the only thing they have in common story-wise is they both involve airplanes crashing. In the absence of a site for this, and the numerous obvious differences, I have to question the accuracy of this statement. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 70.146.240.239 (talk) 00:59, 20 April 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Personally I think the lead section is more than adequate and should not be over inflated like many other articles especially when criticism is put in the lead section it leads to a bloated competition between negative and positive references. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Atlantic306 (talk • contribs) 15:39, 13 October 2015 (UTC)[reply]

I think it's mostly fine, too, but we seem to be in the minority. I think most people prefer a long, detailed lead. In a brief article like this, there isn't really a whole lot to say, anyway. NinjaRobotPirate (talk) 19:05, 13 October 2015 (UTC)[reply]

How about some detailed info on how the raising of the plane was done and the filming thereof ? 2600:8800:784:8F00:C23F:D5FF:FEC4:D51D (talk) 07:01, 2 June 2020 (UTC)[reply]

when it says "The helicopter carrying Gallagher and Eve lands aboard the Agerholm, where they are both met by the grateful survivors", the ship is incorrect as in the end credits, as the camera pans out, the hull number visible near the stern is 1186. Agerholm Hull number was 826. the ship is the USS Cayuga 2600:1014:B154:346F:30F5:CC09:2375:534D (talk) 16:06, 10 June 2024 (UTC)[reply]
