Geocache Description:

Airplane is my favorite movie, this may explain a little about this hider! You will have to pay close attention to the movie to obtain some of the answers. (you may google a few, but you won't be very successful!)

When the pilots of a commercial airliner suffer food poisoning after eating their in-flight meals, it falls to Ted Striker, an ex-fighter pilot, to conquer his fear of flying, fly the airliner to its destination, and land it safely. Adding to the complex psychological challenge for Striker is the fact that his ex-girlfriend Elaine is a flight attendant on the ill-fated aircraft.
