Trivia
Gorenko is to be flown out in the C141a Starlifter (ser. 64-0624; C/N 300-6037, 437th MAW) that is seen at the airport. On Thursday 12 July, 1984, that aircraft was destroyed in a fatal accident shortly after take-off from Sigonella Naval Airfield in Sicily. No. 3 engine experienced an uncontained failure. Debris was ejected which caused no. 4 engine to also fail. Debris also entered the cargo compartment, starting a fire in a pallet containing paint. The cargo fire produced thick, toxic smoke which made visual control of the aircraft extremely difficult. The aircraft entered a steep bank and crashed within 198 seconds of takeoff. All 8 crew members and the single passenger on board were killed.

UNDERRATED MOVIE

This movie has some very special moments. While I'm not an expert on directing, the movie was poorly directed in my view. The pacing was slow, there were continuity errors. I watched it a long time ago and about to rewatch it again after many years. I hope I don't regret my review to the good or the bad. But I suspect that I might like less because my experience in judging movies is more mature and sophisticated. My first viewing was in "my salad days, when I was green in judgment." (Shakespeare-Antony & Cleopatra Act 1 Scene V). Now I have been round the block a few times and the ravages of time and battle are evident on my armor. In short, I am more forgiving and always looking to give a person a break of some kind. My motto: Swift in judgement, swift to die.
