Water Bombing Planes
Water bombing forest fires. This is COOL
The old company Bombardier Aerospace makes these. They don't "motor around" to fill the tanks---they touch down at approach speed, open the fill scoops, add lots of power and the tanks fill in seconds.
There's one scene in the film where you can see the two tank level gauges rapidly go up. The other neat thing is watching the magnitude of the flight control inputs, especially aileron, as they are manoeuvring down low---sometimes the pilot is literally going stop to stop. This is real flying!......

Asiana Flt 214 Reconstruction
It is a miracle that more were not killed in this landing.
This provides a true understanding of how low the aircraft was in relation to the glide slope. Computer generations help to reconstruct aircraft accidents.
Light blue ghosted plane is where he was supposed to be.
