Inaccurate contrived crap. The real story is way better.
Don't bother with this horrible adaptation of a great story. It's horribly inaccurate and honestly a complete load of garbage. It makes Doug White look like a total dumbass. Half of the movie never even happened and the other half is aviation nonsense that would make even a casual flight simulator enthusiast cringe. There are so many other ways to experience this story which are much more realistic, accurate, and exciting. How Doug White, who is an amazing man, allowed this absolute tripe to be released as a feature film about him boggles my mind.
You can see the real deal on YouTube. Just search for "Pilot dies king air Doug White". It uses the flight data recreated on modern flight simulator software overlaid with real time air traffic control audio of Doug and the amazing people who guided him and his family safely to the ground in Fort Myers.
"It's just me and the good Lord flying this thing" "She touched down like a butterfly with sore feet"
Be sure to watch the follow on video where Doug presents the ATC controllers the highest honors in their profession. It is truly moving.
Don't waste your time on this film. It is one of the worst adaptations I've ever seen.
