The movie eneded after Al Pacino gets arrested at the apron as the hostages were released from the limo

Yes, I'm trying to figure out where that happened exactly.

In the movie it ended in the General Aviation area of JFK near the current T-1 terminal (old Eastern). I believe the GA is still in the same place. I don't know where it ended in real, or if it was JFK.

Sorry, gotcha here it is mentioned. After Mel's first visit to the stricken 707 he asks the maint chief, "...if I can con TWA into giving us Patroni would you mind...", and the reply is, "no, Joe can have all the tries he wants." and yes as several regulars here can attest I am a geek.

Catch Me If You Can. It is the scene near the end of the flight back from France after his arrest.

OK, boys and girls. Thinking caps on? Good, Patroni is based on a real live TWA mechanic. In fact Arthur Hailey had several interviews with this man when writing the book and he was invited to MSP to be anon set consultant during the shooting of the movie. Who is he?

I can't remember what was shown when he flew from out west to NYC, but there was a lot of footage of New York Airways Boeing Vertol and Clint arrived at the Pan Am Bldg rooftop.

"Coogan's Bluff" - the inspiration for the McCloud TV Series with Dennis Weaver, if I am correct.

Tommy should know this stuff.... :D

Wow, this thread is totally scattered. I'm passing out Ritalin for anyone who wants.

I was watching Passenger 57 last night. Does anyone know who that L-1011 belonged too. I couldnt notice the registration #. Im guessing it is an Ex Eastern or Delta.
