THE FLIGHT RESCUE 771

You should go lower.

Lower! Lower!

It's too loud! The wind will lead
all off the field!

risky download more!
It will not cover.

That's been said all week!

Need to download more!
I thought they were the best!

Jay, he wants you down.

All right, Frank. If that's what he wants,
I'll go lower.

- Is that better?
- Yeah, like that.

If you lower more, you will harvest!

It's better!

Best!

What the fuck was that?
You almost got my head off!

You're fired!

Jay, you can land.
We're on vacation.

What is he doing?

- He's going to hit the bridge!
- Jay ...

It will hit!

SAN FRANCISCO
DECEMBER 21

Hi, sweetie.

I arrived!

Sorry to be late.

Hey, who set the tree up?

Honey?

Are you okay?

What are you doing in bed?

Well, my lover just left.

Do I know you?

I think so.
the one fixing the oven.

I'm going to ask you a question.

- Is he as handsome as I am?
- No, but it's available.

But I'm here, now!

Hi ... Hi ...

Did you feel it?

It was a macho kick!

"A fighter, like you."

He stopped.

It's fine. It was enough.
Are you okay?

You must be hungry.
Are you going to work tomorrow morning?

I'm not going to work tomorrow.

We finished work today.

I told you it was
Only one season.

I'll find something else.
I always meet.

The problem is that it never lasts.
more than a few weeks.

Jay, we decided that when
the baby is born, I would not work.

Yes, that's right.

Your salary will be the only income.

I'll try to pack
a steady job, okay?

Well, you got the job.
in Pacific West, ...

and resigned in a month.

I explained, Ellen.

I do not like flying in these monsters.
in a fixed route.

Besides, Harry called me today.
You got something for us.

I'll figure it out, okay?

- Come on, what do you have to say?
- I do not know, Jay.

It took him one more
pay us the last time.

I have been talking to you in Honolulu,
several times.

Two seaplane flying
by the Pacific.

Oh, you and Amelia Erhardt.

You know what happened to her?
Where will we go?

Oh, he did not tell us.

Jay, Frank, what are you
Did you find your planes?

What planes?

These two AG.
The buyer is in a hurry.

We will go to
Iowa or Nebraska?

Australia

They were well on the trip to Hawaii.
just a little further.

Much more, Harry!

They know how to fly over the sea
and drive sprayers.

- The customer wants them on the 25th.
- At Christmas?

I admit that it's a long, but
will do it in four segments.

The first to Honolulu,
then to Pay-Pay, ...

then Norfolk Island and
a minor in Sydney.

Its capacity is 4 hours
of fuel in the wings, ...

and another 12 in the cabin,
which will give them 16 hours.

Two hours more than
the longest stretch.

You were the first
who I thought

- Really?
- Come on, Henry.

The first ones you thought of?
How many before refused the job?

- This is your specialty.
- Forget it!

These drawers have more
of 500 hours of flight.

300 hours, just one of them.

- And the other?
- 600 hours ...

Forget it I would not fly
in it by the Bay of Oakland.

It's $ 2,500.

- No, thanks, Harry.
- More expenses!

We would have to pulverize many fields,
to earn that money.

Frank, I'll come with 600 hours.

Are you crazy?
It's the longest flight in the world.

We could do this by sleeping.

We would have to do this.
There are 4 very long segments ...

on water, on such aircraft
designed for spraying.

He's right, Harry.

- Yeah, like that. Far far away
- Very far.

- Very, very far.
- For $ 2,500.

- Jay!
- Come here.

Did you accept it?

- It will only be for 4 days.
- It's Christmas!

They'll give us $ 4,000.
The money will be for the baby.

- No! You know it's not money.
- What does that mean?

What, Jay? Since I've known you,
You're trying to prove something.

You take a lot of risk and this?
his craziest acrobatics, Jay!

No, Jay! The only thing
What do you want to do?

You will be a father in three months.
You should not continue with this.

You knew how I was,
When are we married, right?

I will not drive a bus
for the rest of my life.

I do not want my son to ask me.
every day whether your father will come back or not.

Take it! Decorate your tree.
Merry Christmas.

- Oakley!
"I'm very busy, Gordon.

AUCKLAND AIRPORT,
NEW ZEALAND - DECEMBER 22
about my co-pilot, Russell.
Do you know your case?

No, I'm afraid not.

They refuse to promote it.

Oh, of course! What do you have reports on?
by attitude problems.

The Inspector must be informed.

The Inspector? our chief examiner.
Served the Government for years.

Behind a table, instead of
a cabin, every day.

Bureaucrats can not judge us.

You have not been flying for months.

This is not personal.

Of course. Ruin the career of a
man, you just do not like him!

Just a moment. H age are you?
in this country

I will present a separate report.

"The chief would lose authority.
"Admit that the inspector was wrong.

- That's none of your business.
- Of course yes.

Better forget this.
It's not your business.

What's up? Are you going to demote me?

I'm retiring in two years and
I have been a driver for 34 years.

I do not care about
disciplinary measures.

If you do not do something about it,
I'll report it.

I'm the greatest pilot.
patent here!

Russell won the position of Captain.

And because they are so incompetent,
they deny him the post.

Oh, calm down ...
This is difficult.

I said they could
say goodbye, ...

Why did you think about retiring?
anyway.

Shit, Hillary. The retirement
force does not work.

The best years of my life
life is ahead

You'll soon think of something.
to do, and even the fa a, ...

I already have some ideas.

Really? Perhaps this will benefit us,
after all.

Oh, splendid! Stay sharp
with the trimmings.

Would you mind me?
follow up at home?

To the orders, Captain.

I do not like that you do not
be here, at Christmas.

We're going to Fiji this afternoon.
I'll be here at 8:00 p.m.

- The children will be waiting.
- I promise I'll be on time.

SAN FRANCISCO AIRPORT
23rd of December
These things are heavy.
Let's enjoy it.

- Calm down, Frank.
- If we cough, we'll fall.

They take off at 80 ns.
I'll bring the letters, okay?

- Okay, Harry.
"Did you get any sleep last night?"

Yes a little.
I'll soon get used to your sofa.

Take it.

On here. I put the HF and VHF radio
next to the chair

and put a
long reach here.

The unit below is your
directional locator.

It's hard to see here.
He is also loose.

That's easy to fix.
With this.

You know, Harry, I see that no.
save money. This is very good.

You will use the compass you are holding.
here almost all the time.

It was calibrated.

Thank you, Harry.

I did not want you to be
without your food bag.

Thank you, I ...

I bought food at the station.
of gasoline ... Thank you!

Ou a.
Have a good night, okay?

Let's celebrate when I get back.

Tower, talking Cessna 30771.

Double V, ready for

Honolulu? In this?

Yes sir.

Okay, Cessna 771, double track.
Free for take-off.

"Aloha".

Understood. 771, dual car.
"Aloha."

Come on, baby.

Speeding up to 80 ns.

He'll be fine.

Hey, Jay, this time I could go
over the bridge?

Frank, you're very annoying.

Happy Holidays.

For Christmas in Australia.

DECEMBER, 24

ON THE ROUTE OF HONOLULU
FOR PAYMENT-PAYMENT

Payment-Payment!

How about a tropical drink?

- Have not you had enough?
- Never!

All right, the last one who pays.

Thank you. Thank you very much.

What do you think, Frank?
They knew we were coming.

Norfolk Island is at 1,500
nautical miles.

I think ... Pay attention.

- It's almost 14 hours of fuel.
- Yes, there are no problems.

Quite far
Norfolk only one point.

Will not you ever worry?

- I do not want to get lost.
- Do not say that.

We should land by day, okay?

- Take-off at dawn?
- I'll wake you at 3:00.

Oh, Frank!

- You're funny, you know that?
- Yes of course.

Did I tell you that recently?

I'm on a paradise island ...

and I go to bed at 7:00 p.m.

You're incredibly funny.

"What are you going to do on New Year?"
- Because? Are you going to need an arbitrator?

Perhaps.

I can not.
I'm going to Phoenix, see my son, if you can.

Serious?

This is the first time since
Nancy and I broke up.

I did not know you had
problems with Nancy.

Me neither.

She ... she said to exclude her,
who gave him no time.

I do not know. She was right.

It was easy, Ellen.

I said that I did not have
what to worry about.

Did you go to the doctor?

- Yes Yes. I was. I ...
- What did you say?

No. Talk to you.

Yeah. He said it's okay,
and that I must rest a lot.

Does the baby keep kicking?

I asked if the baby
continues to kick.

No, not much.

Hey, Ellen ...
Thanks for the ornament.

It meant a lot to me.
I know you're upset, ...

But I will reward you,
when it returns.

I've heard this before.

It seems that you are
having fun

No. No, no! No!
I'm on the public phone outside.

A band is playing
in a restaurant.

I think as soon as they celebrate
Christmas here.

And so we celebrate, do not we, Jay?

Come on, that's unfair.

It's fine. Call me when you arrive
in Norfolk Island, okay?

I can not call at night.
You need to sleep.

You think I can sleep,
with you risking your life?

I do this for you and the baby.

No, Jay. Do not blame me for it!
You do not understand, no ?

You're going to be a father, Jay.
It's time to grow up.

Christmas morning
4PM FROM MANH

Thank you.

I did not know everything would be
closed at Christmas.

We will fly 14 hours hungry.

"Did not you sleep last night?"
- I did not sleep.

Music kept me awake.
Did you talk to Ellen?

It's not good news.
Do you want to listen?

- Oh, I'm sorry.
- Leave it. Make no apologies.

Tower, Cessna talking 30771,
ready for takeoff.

V o 771, free for take-off.

Repeat, Tower.

I said, man, see.

Understood, 771. Let's get something
for breakfast, Frank.

Okay, this time, I'll guide
and you will pray.

Come on, buddy.

Let's go.

Great!

Easy, Frank. Come on.

Yeah, let's get out of here.

You look good, Frank!

Come on, Frank, let go of the clutch.

I'm not slowing down.

I'm going to take this Pay-A-plane.

Come on, baby.

- You're at the end of the lane, Frank!
- I still have not reached the speed!

Frank!

Cessna 785, are you in trouble?

Yes, the engine has lost compression.

I can not take off.

I'll have to land in the water.

Frank!

Tower, my partner fell in the water!

Get him out soon!
I'm going down to see.

Understood.
The rescue is on the way.

They caught him.
Tower, can you get in touch?

- Frank?
- This way!

Jay, I'm fine.

Yes, I can see it.
I'm going to land!

No, you can not land.
with the tank full. You should not!

I'm going down, right?

No, do not give up. You should not
to risk both planes.

I am fine.
I'll go home next time.

I will not go without you.

Are we going to lose $ 4,000?

- Are you sure you're okay?
- Look ... look at this.

This dance does not convince me
that you are well.

The last leg, Jay.

Get the money
for your family.

You need it.

All right, my friend.

Go away! It's burning
fuel.

See you later, my friend.

We'll see each other, my friend.

Oh! Are you okay?

Better safe than sorry.
the regulation, do not you know?

- Did you check the time?
- As?

I suppose you have
Checked the time, no?

Yes, I did. There will be no problems
for 2 hours.

We are far from the storm.

Magnificent.

Oh, the new ship's board.
Do you want to meet her?

This Russ Mann, First Officer
and future Captain.

He's Captain Warren Banks.
Returning pilot to base.

She's Vanessa Cruz.

- Do you have the passenger list?
- Just 88 passengers back.

Maybe later we can
go have a drink, no?

Russ, the future Capitals
they can not drink.

Why not?

Hey, Gordon! Do not intrude.

V o 308 with destination
to Auckland. Authorized.

Understood 308.
Good morning!

Central Norfolk.
Cessna 30771, exchange.

Answer, Norkfolk Central.

Central Norfolk, here Cessna 30771.
Are you there?

Maybe they left for dinner?

Come on, wake up!
I should be on top of you.

Did someone move the island?

Why do you work so well, Harry?

Careful now ...

Damn it!

Auckland. Here Cessna 30771.
Exchange.

Cessna 30771,
Here Auckland Central.

Yes, Auckland. I went from my
30 minute drive to Norfolk Island.

There is no land here.
and I did not receive them by VHF.

Cessna 771, you declare
an emergency?

Cessna 771, you declare
an emergency?

Cessna 771, you declare
an emergency?

771, do you declare an emergency?

Yes ... I declare an emergency.

Code Red.
Mr. Hudson, red code.

AUCKLAND CENTRAL
5:17 p.m.

Cessna 30771, here's Officer Hudson.
What's the problem? Exchange.

I should be on Norfolk Island,
but I do not see the island.

What is your flight plan?

Flying Payment-Payment
to Norfolk Island.

I'm on the 215th course,
due to a wind of 12 n s.

We will try to establish
your position.

Use your ADF to get read
in Kaitaia in 460.

I get Kaitaia in 335.
It must be wrong.

I could not have left much.

The protective glass has come loose
over the needle.

She was unbalanced.

- Your magnetic bearing 215?
- That was it, for 24 hours.

771, continue with your current direction.
Wait for instructions.

Prepare a center
results in 30 ...

and give me a list of aircraft
and ships nearby.

Cessna 30771, talks to Central
of Auckland.

The rescue team will follow soon.

Do you have the right tools?

Yes, but not the best.

How much fuel do you have left?

an AG Truck.

The main tank was consumed
completely.

The meters indicate three hours
fuel in the wings.

I will try to increase the time
slowing down.

- Well thought.
- Right.

- What about the planes?
"Only New Zealand's 308."

- Commercial.
- How many passengers?

- 88 passengers.
- Hell!

Air New Zealand 308,
here is the Auckland Central.

Here I am 308, listening.

There is a Cessna 30771 that is
close to you

going to Norfolk Island and
We do not know where you are.

Your navigation tools
are failing.

Try to get in touch with him by
frequency 8845 to provide assistance.

Understood, Auckland.
We'll try.

Cessna 30771, Speak Air
New Zealand 308. Are you listening?

Cessna 771, listening loud and clear.

We are going to Auckland
and told us that he is lost.

Glad to hear you, 308.

I flew 14 hours to 215 magicians,
from Pago-Pago, ...

but I did wrong calculations and mine
indicators failed.

- 14 Hours?
"How much fuel do you have left?"

Well, 3 hours or so.

I may fall without power
indicate my position.

Hold on, I'll be right back. Bow to
save fuel.

- Well, I'm doing this.
- Good decision.

Pe a Vanessa to come here.

How far are we?
of the storm?

"It's coming, but it's still far.
- OK.

If he falls without giving his position, ...

will not survive, especially
with this storm that is coming.

We have plenty of fuel.

Should we look for him?
We do not know where he is.

There's a lost pilot.
Gordon wants to find him.

S rio, wants to divert a flight with
88 passengers?

It's not risky. There is no more
airplanes in the area ...

and our instruments will give you
our position all the time.

Where are we going? We do not know the
I tell him he is. East? West?

This we will know by discovering
how far away he is.

Switch to a VHF channel.
I hope it's within reach.

What is it for?

The VHF range of 300 km.
If we get him, he's close.

- And if not?
- God knows.

"Cessna 771, how's it going?"
- It could be better.

Well, we want to know where you are.
Let's switch to a VHF channel.

We would like you to do the same.

Change to 121.5 VHF and try
please contact us.

Understood, wait.

V o New Zeland 308,
can you hear me?

Can you hear me?

V o New Zeland 308, is it there?

- There's nothing in VHF. That's not good.
- Wait.

It is more than 300 kilometers
of us

He could be in Antarctica.

Yes, but we have to find him.

We can not decide
without authorization.

We can not wait for the
authorization. It would be too late.

I will not accept responsibility ...

It is not your responsibility.
I am the highest ranking here!

My responsibility!

And your responsibility with
the passengers, not the greatest?

There is no risk to
passengers in assisting this man!

Even computers do not
can decide everything!

While this old Captain
is in charge, ...

we will help this young pilot.

Hey, Gordon, how do you know?
that he is young?

Compared to me,
They are all young.

You convinced us.
What about them?

There are many children, Captain.
Speak with them.

Yours, Russ.

Ladies and gentlemen. Ladies
and gentlemen, your attention, please.

I'm Captain Gordon. Calm,
There is nothing wrong with this plane.

We have received a call for help
of an American pilot, ...

who is piloting a
in this area.

His instruments failed and
he does not know his position.

You're lost and getting
without fuel.

Auckland Central called us
to ask for help.

There is no danger for us.
We have a lot of fuel.

With the permission of you,
I would like to try to find it.

Let's move on!

Mr. Captain, how was it?
that he got lost?

Come here. I'll show everyone.

Pretend to be a little lost plane.
How would you do that?

Magnificent! OK ...

Turn around, you already flew online
Straight for many hours.

Suddenly, you are faced with
with a cross wind, ...

trying to get him out of his fate.

Come here, son.
Pretend to be this wind.

Try to change your course.
That's it, kid!

The American pilot intelligent,
and tried to resist.

He flew into the wind, ...

but the wind stopped and deceived him.

Their instruments
they warned him.

Now the little airplane is flying.
against nothing.

What do you think happened?

He flew to l!

That's it. So I should be there.

How he flew without instruments
of navigation?

It has a directional locator,
but it is failing.

He is in serious trouble.

What do they tell me?
Should we try?

Yes!

Right! Watch, all of you.
He's somewhere.

And thank you.

Gordon, you're formidable.

Look this ...
I see, I see!

At where?

I do not think I saw anything.

Derek, this is no joke.
Sit down!

All agree.

Will notify the Operations
of Command, no?

I know it's my duty.
See the fuel situation.

I'll schedule the points.
Get the authorization.

Okay, 771, this is 308.

How are your vital signs?

I'm flying low over the ocean
and with little fuel.

The wind is 110 s now.

I can only see ...

Water and clouds.

I flew for 14 hours and
It was always the same.

Hold on, 771. We'll find him.

Just call VHF every 2 minutes,
so we will know if we are 300 km.

I'll do it. Thank you.

Ou a, 308. How are you?
Looking for me?

I think you do not have
radar on board.

How will you find me?

That's a good question.

18: 42H

308, I still do not get VHF
and it is dusk fast.

The sea is calm, I think
I'm going down in the water.

Do not do that, 771, not yet.

The sea has no landing lights.

If I will end up as food
for the sharks, ...

I prefer to see you
when it happens.

Give us the chance to meet him.

Even if you survive
Collision

we can not find it in water.

We need to contact us
VHF so we can look for it.

Wait a minute.

In the old days,
the sun to navigate.

How old are you?

- This guy is very old, 771.
- Who?

It was my former co-pilot who spoke.

Ou a, 771. Turn your plane in the direction
of the Sun, we will do the same ...

and we will hit the
with the compass.

Yes!
Understood.

Not bad for an old man!

18:49 H

Auckland Central, here is the 308th.

Flying on FL 350,
turning 280 degrees.

Auckland, there is information
of traffic?

There is no traffic information.
Please state your position.

Whenaupai sent a
rescue team.

It will not arrive before nightfall.

Okay, I'm in the direction of the sun.

What is your address, 771?

275 on the compass.

It should be facing south.

If you have your latitude,
could find his position.

Son, you seem to know what you're doing.

Before the time of systems
of reference, ...

I was a navigator. There were many.

It's lucky to have you on board.

You must be
our left, 771.

I can not see them. Maybe you
have passed through me.

Its speed is 5 times higher.
Maybe we're moving away.

If we know that it is near the Sun,
we will know that you are ahead.

We would need a sextant.

All this technology is no good.

Ou a, 771. I remembered one
trick of my Boy Scout times.

I do not have time
for stories, okay?

Ou a, we will calculate our distances
measuring the height of the sun.

It was my Boy Scout guide.
who taught me that, years ago.

First, point your fist
to the Sun, in the vertical position.

Is this serious?

Do that, 771 ... How ugly that is!
What's your name?

Jay ... Jay Parkins.

All right, Jay.
Here Gordon Vette.

Say ol to Russ Mann,
my co-pilot, ...

and to my magnificent browser,
Warren Banks.

If anyone can find it,
Banks o far .

- Hi, boys.
- Hey, Jay! You know the joke ...

I'll make you swallow that microphone.
Very good now. Stretch the handle!

Are you sure this will work?

Scouts do not lie!

Be still and count the fingers
between the horizon and the lower part of the Sun.

Each joint is worth 1.25 degrees.

Little more than a fist.

I only have two fingers left.

The sun for you is higher.
You're closer to him.

This means that you
is ahead of us.

"Who was your guide?"
- Kit Carson.

There is a difference of five degrees.

With the difference in altitude,
they are about 544 km.

We're getting closer, Jay.

We will enter soon
in contact by VHF.

It will be faster if we fly.
in opposite directions.

I want it to turn 180 degrees
and fly in my direction.

I do not think so. I already covered this area.
There is nothing. There is no earth.

- I know that.
- I would lose more fuel!

Come on, listen to me, please.

No, not at all.
I will not do that, will you?

Jay, you're going to have to wait for me
anyway.

So let's meet
faster.

I hope you are
All right, Gordon.

Turning to 060.

How to win
life, no, Jay?

Sometimes.

- Since when do you do this?
- I started at age 14.

What?

It's true. Located in Staten Island,
when I was a child, ...

there was an old eccentric l .

One day he took me to a track
called Miller Field.

They offered acrobatic rides ...

and he paid for my ticket.

We take off and the pilot
allowed to take a walk.

I fell in love.
It was more fun than swimming n .

You have an American accent.
What are you doing here?

I was here during the war and
I met a wonderful girl.

I've been flying here ever since.
I'm retiring in two years.

And then?

I do not know. I still have not thought of that.
What about you?

If I survive this, ...

the curious is that I do not
I know if I could stop.

Fly the only thing that
It makes me feel alive.

- Yeah. I felt that way too.
- And now, no more?

Not in the last few years.

I spent a lot of time up here.

I lost the first boyfriend.
of my daughter, ...

the birthday of my granddaughter.
I miss those moments.

Maybe it's time to land.

You speak like my wife.

Jay, I lost the signal.
There's something wrong?

No, everything looks good around here.

Now it seems okay.
It's time to switch to VHF.

Understood. Changing.

Jay! Jay! We have it!

What the hell sounds like a bell?

My lucky charm.

- Well done.
- It's all right!

Ladies and gentlemen,
I have good news.

We contacted Cessna.
He's been coming to us.

I want to see you!

Jay, through my calculations,
you should be close.

Do you see anything?

Anything.

The flashing lights are on.

Are we going to expel steam?
He should see you.

Good idea. Rotate 40 degrees.
We'll leave a good trail.

Al , information from Norfolk Island?

Yes ... Excuse me, I can not
listen to them.

I would like the
Hot on the island, please!

I do not see it.

The temperature is not adequate.

I'll climb 600 meters.
Russ, notify the passengers.

It is very dry,
It's no use trying.

Jay, you should be
Seeing our lights now.

You should see Norfolk Island,
but I do not see anything.

By my calculations, he should
be below us now.

I do not understand.
What's going on?

Hanson.

Here Ellen Parkins, Jay's wife.
Sorry to wake you up.

I have no news of Jay.
I called the hotel, but he's not there.

I do not know if you know anything
his thing.

Mrs. Parkins, ...

I do not want to worry you.
I called Norfolk Island.

Maybe he's had a
mechanical problem.

No ... What mechanical problem?
What are you talking about?

Jay lost his directional analyzer.
Can not find Norfolk Island.

Oh my God!

There is an aircraft in the area and the Air Force
sent a rescue team.

They will find you and
will guide you to land.

What it says? Why Frank?
Can not you guide him?

Frank is not with him.

Frank is fine, he's got a
I'm going to go home.

Jay ... he decided to go it alone.

So, Jay is flying alone?

18: 57H

What's going on, Gordon?

We climbed to 1,200 meters,
We do not leave mats.

Damn it!

If we do not have contact

I will have a very good night.

Gordon, there's a way to
leave a mat.

It's an old fighting trick.

Of course! Throwing fuel.

That's it. Would not recommend
This, Gordon, but ...

My life is at stake here.

Our flight time will be reduced
15 minutes, every minute thrown away.

How much fuel do we still have?

For about 4 hours.

"We must inform the passengers.
- Right.

We have a word about the situation.

The two planes do not have
visual contact, ...

so we should use a trick.

We have fuel reserves for
about 4 hours, enough ...

to play a part
and form a mat ...

that would enable Cessna

How much fuel?

Well, enough is enough to create

so do not put us

Captain, I'm responsible.

I get it.

I do not know what your parents would say.

Does it suggest that we abandon the search?

Do you believe that this
man could die?

I'm afraid this chance exists.

All right, watch carefully!
Thank you.

Get ready to pour.

Jay?

Jay!

Jay!

Yes!

You're not giving up, are not you?

No.

Okay. Let's start the stroke.
Start counting.

Turn it off.

I do not see anything.

Jay, we left a 15-kilometer trail.

I may be lost,
but not blind, right?

We were wrong in our calculations.

How did he not see us?

He must be far away.
It was a waste of time.

We can not leave him!

He must have a survival kit.

There is a storm approaching.
"Then she'll reach us, too."

What he does l , in a
little airplane

If you want to take the risk,
must bear the consequences.

That man is going to die,
if we do not find it.

Only 15 minutes of fuel
Unless, Captain. Was it a good idea?

With less weight, we have
4 hours of reservation.

I'm sorry it did not work.

The rescue is on the way,
but the storm stops them.

I am afraid you will approach quickly.

19: 03H

Jay, we're not that close
how much did we think.

No, I do not think so, Gordon!

And the sun is setting fast.

At least we are within reach
for the VHF.

I want to try a search.

Start flying in a closed circle.

I do not believe it! You made me come back.
on covered area, ...

and now you want me to do it?

Right! I'll fly in and out of
your VHF range.

That to get the perimeter
of its reach.

That way we can get your
position. You must talk without stopping ...

to know the variation
of signal strength.

It's okay, I ...

I do not have a better idea,
so ...

It's all right.

What can I say?

Whatever you want, for

I'm flying, Gordon.

And for the first time, I would like
of not being

I think of Ellen.
I wish I could talk to her.

Maybe it's better that she does not know.

Hey, Gordon.
We're having a baby.

Yes. Jay Parkins is going to be Dad.

- Hey, Gordon, do you have kids?
- Yes, I have five children.

- Five?
- I got married young.

Did you want them all?

Of course!
And each one is special to me.

You seem to be a great father.

I also want to be a good father.

Better than mine.

It would not be difficult.
My father left me at the age of seven.

I wonder where he is.

I wonder if he thinks of me.

I'd like to kick your ass ...

and also to embrace it.

Sorry, Gordon, I do not know why.
I'm talking about it. What da

Do not apologize, son.

Keep talking.

Jay, how you got into this,
in the heat of Christmas

I needed money, Gordon.

My family is going to visit me tomorrow.
and you're invited.

It's a good idea.

No. I'm serious.
You are invited.

We will sing to your wife.
A beautiful Christmas song.

Do you accept?

I accept.

Almost night.

It will be difficult to fly in the dark.

I need to get off while I can see.
It's time to get wet.

Jay, I wish I could give you
give a good reason, ...

but I still do not want to give up.

Gordon, I'm following the rules.

I flew almost
16 hours until here.

I'm getting crazy.

I need to make sure
do it right.

Ou a, ...

Gordon, if I do not
survive this, ...

Could you do me a favor?

You could contact
to Ellen and tell her that ...

what we talked
OK?

Calm down, Mrs. Parkins!
Please.

I can not communicate
with Auckland Central.

I need to talk to my husband.

They're busy trying
find Jay. There is a 767 in the area.

No! Do not tell me that, right?

I know there are few chances
to find it.

I know how you feel,
but are doing what is possible.

It would have no problem if he
had not gone on this absurd mission.

It's not an absurd mission. This
often and is safe.

Safe?

He is lost, without instruments, ...

running out of fuel,
And you're saying that it's safe?

It is possible that it is in the sea,
right now.

7:18 p.m.

Gordon? When I get off, I'll be
southwest of Norfolk Island.

Not yet, Jay! Not yet.

I only have a few
minutes of Sol remaining.

I want you to use
these last minutes, son.

Tell me exactly
when the sun is gone.

The Auckland Central will
do the same, ...

to compare the longitudinal direction.

Hell, Gordon. If I do not come down
now, maybe I will not survive.

Listen to me, Jay, if for the sun
if you hide later, ...

time will tell how far to the west
you can be

Give us this chance.

It's all right.

Get a radio and go to the tower.

Tell me when the sun sets.

OK. I'm here!
I'm ready.

It's coming down.

Mark it!

- The weather's 7:19:14.
- Wait.

- Marquem!
- Write down: 07:19 and 43 seconds.

Let's go.

It is about 200 km to
Southwest Norfolk.

It's close to Auckland.

We have an idea of where he is.

Yes, but in what ocean?

I have to get off, before
the light is seen.

Jay!

Jay!

We lost the VHF signal.
He turned away more than 300 km.

Change the frequency to HF.

We lose it.

Let's go back! We must find him,
before it falls.

Jay, are you there?

Jay, are you there?

Cessna 30771,
speaks to Auckland Central.

Cessna 771.

Come on, Jay!

Jay!

Come on, Jay!

Come on, Jay! Answer!

- Gordon?
- Jay, you're there!

I'm here.

My HF does not work.

The antenna must have come loose.

I thought I had come down.

I almost, ...

But I could not.
I'm not alone.

Jay, we're coming back.
in the direction of you.

I want you to come up slowly.
to 1,500 p s, ...

still flying in his
current position

and turn on all the lights you have.

I lit the few lights I have.

This thing was not done for
night flights.

Flight 308, here Auckland Auckland Central.

This is not a normal procedure ....

but the wife of the pilot
She wants to talk to her husband.

We can not communicate.
Can we do it through you?

I think he needs to.

Put it on the line.

Jay, there's someone who wants
talk to you.

Can not communicate, but
can send messages.

to his wife.

As?

I do not know how she found out,
but his wife is smart.

Tell him ...

Tell him I want to
know if he's okay.

Tell him you need to go back,
because your son is angry

and needs your father.

Tell him that I will not be
an obstacle.

That he can carry loads
to China, ...

carry loads China, be a pilot
of testing, or whatever you want.

She just wants you to come back.

Tell her ...

that I have everything under control here.

I just want her to take care of herself and
that takes care of the baby.

Do not forget our
Christmas celebration.

And when I get home, ...

I'm going to get a job
fixed as a pilot.

When he returns, he will search
a stable job.

It will get fat, it will grow old and
see you every night.

He should not worry
with that, now.

Just tell him that I love him.

Yes.

Tell him ...

that finally this is clear.

And that I did not know how much,
Until now.

Mrs. Parkins, speaking
by myself, ...

I swear we'll find him.

They must.

Thank you, Captain.

Call the
Operations for me.

Tell them to call Hillary for
warn her that I'll be late.

And to warn the wife
of Warren, too.

Control of Auckland,
here's the 308.

Gordon!
I'm in the storm!

Get her out, Jay, get out now!

He has to leave,
or it will destroy it.

Reduce speed, Jay,
and maneuver down.

I'm trying, damn it!

Keep the level, Jay! Keep
the level If it turns, it will cause the tor a.

I lost control!
I lost control!

Calm down, Jay.
Keep it steady until you leave.

Calm down, now.

I can not.

Gordon!

Jay, Jay, talk to me.

Jay, come on, talk to me!

Jay, are you okay?

Jay, talk to me!
Come on, man, talk to me!

Yes ...

Yes ... I managed to get out.

I'm fine.

- Jay ...
- Yes, Gordon.

I am here.

Gordon, ...

I think it's the end of the line.

Come on, it's not the end. I promised
woman take you to your house, ...

and I'm going to take you to your house.

Do not give up, son!

Yes sir. I await orders.

All right, kid, keep your course going.
Now I'm going down to you.

I'm going down to 3,000 p.

Gordon, this goes against
the procedures.

You can not fly in
a storm!

The clouds will pass over.

Turn within a radius of 32 km and keep
stable height up to 3,000 p s.

And notify the passengers.

19: 55H

We descend to 3,000 p s.
There will be some turbulence.

Please keep looking
the airplane.

You go home. I will call,
as soon as we know something.

- Frank!
- Ellen?

What are you doing here?
Just arrived. What happened?

Great!
There are leaks in the ceiling, too.

- V o 308, Auckland, exchange.
- On the run, Auckland.

The rescue team had to return
because of bad weather.

You are alone.

Understood.
Thank you sir.

You go ahead, Russ.

We will be in deep trouble,
know this?

And that pilot too.

20: 36H

I can see it! Down there!

Derek, I said it was not a game.
It arrives

It's true, he!

Even. I see it too!

He's there!

He's there. We saw it.
Below us, on the left.

Jay, we're seeing you!

Look up!

Gordon ...
I'm watching you!

Oh, you look good!
Oh, it looks like a Christmas tree!

I see you.

Come back now and slow down.
Flaps at 20 degrees.

We're going Northwest.

The storm blocked the field of vision.

That's enough, damn it!
What about Auckland?

They reported good weather for now,
but he will not come. "

Jay, Norfolk is 192 miles,
but the weather is bad.

Auckland is 282 miles,
but the weather is fine now.

He can not go to Auckland.
with so little fuel.

"He will not resist the time of Norfolk."
"He will fall into the sea."

- You do not know how much fuel he has.
"That would send him to the ocean!"

He flew for 18 hours, continuously.

Can not land on a lane
unknown in the storm.

He must have done it before.
It's your only opportunity.

I doubt he succeeds.

"Russ, am I wrong?"
- I do not know. It does not depend on us.

He is so tired that neither
You do not even remember your name now.

I can not take
such a decision.

Maybe not, but it's your life.

Jay, did you understand what?
I told you?

The choice is yours.
It's up to you!

It will be difficult for you
landing in Norfolk.

Auckland is in good weather,
but it depends on the fuel.

We do not know how much remains.

Gordon, what am I supposed to do?

I can not say what to do.

We will be with you, it does not matter.
whatever you decide.

Right, Gordon.

Let's take the long way.
Take me to Auckland.

Right, good choice!
It's fine.

Let's turn 150 degrees.
We will fly to 200 ns.

Follow on our treadmill.
Avoid our waste.

Understood. I'll turn around.

Auckland, we will return.
We are taking the pigeon to the nest.

Give me your position every minute.
The weather is getting worse.

Prepare a ransom for
via land and sea.

It gives the track position 771.

If it falls into the sea, it will sink.
I will never reach you.

Just do it!

20: 49H

Are you Mrs. Madley?

"That's right.
- We just found out.

I know he'll be fine.

They are near Auckland.

They'll land at any moment.

It's 05.

Give me 5 more.

300 p ...

200 p ...

Gordon! Gordon!

Honey, this time I do not care.
You're late.

Pray for him!

771, how is your visibility?

I only see rain.

Flight 771, I'll give you directions
landing Do exactly what I say.

Understood.

Turn left at 180.

It begins to descend.

Turning 180 and going down.

771, it's going well.
It is about 9 km from the track.

- Can you see her?
- Negative.

Okay, follow my instructions.

The engine started to fail.

You will arrive.
Turn to 120.

To the left, ...

to 120.

771, is aligned with the track
landing gear.

It is about 3 miles from the track.
Keep your descent steady.

It is 300 feet high and the
less than a mile from the lane.

She is ahead of you.
The lane is right in front of you.

You are coming.
Let's celebrate!

I do not have any propulsion.
The control does not respond.

Plan, 771. It's close to
track and has sufficient height.

Keep this speed down.
Do not stop.

Right ... Right. I will not stop.

Come on, baby.

Do not stop, nen m.

Which one, nen m?

I can see them, Auckland!

Where are you going?

Climb the tower!
I want to see the landing.

- There he is.
- Yeah, there he is.

Come on, you can do it.

He landed!

- Gordon?
- Very well!

Merry Christmas.

Let's go home.

Come on!

When Jay landed, he had done
23 hours and 3 minutes.

He is currently Commander of the
famous American Airline.

Gordon still lives in Auclkand,
where senior instructor.

The two men remain friends,
15 years after this Christmas adventure.
