The model used for the crash sequence cost $250,000 and was so perfectly built it actually flew further than the crew and testing had predicted. In fact it flew so far it hit the camera filming it and broke the cameraman's leg.
Like James Stewart, who played Frank Towns in the 1965 version of "Flight of the Phoenix", Dennis Quaid is an experienced pilot.
Hugh Laurie auditioned for House during filming.
The items that look like shotgun cartridges that the captain uses to start the engines are specially designed blank cartridges used in a starter known as a Coffman Starter. The expanding gases from the fired cartridge are channeled to a mechanical device that rapidly spins the engine up to start speed. They allow the engine(s) to be started without having to carry heavy starter motors and batteries, and were widely used in military aircraft in WW2, including on the Merlin engines of Supermarine Spitfires.
The production built a "Phoenix" that could be taxied, but were unable to safely build a flying version economically. Mindful of the original production which did build a "Phoenix" that could fly, but was structurally unsound and crashed killing stuntman Paul Mantz, the flying scenes were done using a radio controlled model and computer graphics.
"Sammi: I thought you weren't religious, Rady? Rady: Spirituality is not religion. Religion divides people. Belief in something unites them."
"Frank Towns: Why give people false hope? Liddle: Come on man.Most people spend their whole lives hanging on to hopes and dreams that are never going to come true but they hold on to them. Why are you going to give up on them now when you need them most? Frank Towns: You are assuming I'm one of those people who has hopes and dreams. Liddle: I find it hard to believe that a man who learns to fly never had a dream. Frank Towns: Look, how can I let those people build that plane when I don't believe it will work? And, every day they waste trying to build it brings them one day closer to dying. Liddle: I think a man only needs one thing in life. He just needs someone to love. If you can't give him that, then give him something to hope for. And if you can't give him that, just give him something to do. [James tosses the water bottle back to Frank and walks away] Frank Towns: James, you'll never make it. Liddle: Then I'll die trying. There are people counting on me. Frank Towns: Okay, Okay, Okay. Okay. We'll build it. Just come back with me."
