Trivia, insights & behind the scenes
This film exists in a bizarre pre-TSA sweet spot where a child accessing the cockpit was merely 'adventurous' rather than 'national security threat.'
Director James Becket spent most of his career in documentary; this was his lone narrative feature, possibly explaining the 'real plane footage meets obvious stage' aesthetic.
