Pan Am | Departure From Haiti | Love Love

That can't be good. We're not leaving right now. Start pre-flight. Kate! Let's go! Prepare for takeoff! Let's go! Wind has increased on our tail and the temperature has dropped. We can't take off. Cut the pep talk, Chuck. How's our fuel? We've lost 6,000 pounds. Add that to our garage sale and we're down to about 200,000 pounds. Still not enough to fit into our progress. We need to burn more fuel. A lot more. There's no time. Setting brakes. Setting takeoff thrust. Based on FAA rules and regulations, it is too dangerous to take off. Yeah, noted. We can take it off from aircraft carriers shorter than this. In a fighter jet. 707 isn't designed to take off like this. Fighter jets don't have four engines. You don't blow an engine first. You need me to change your diaper, Chuck. I mean, you're embarrassing the Navy here. Ted, I'm just trying to tell you... I'm not Ted. It's First Officer Vanderway. It's sitting next to me is Captain Lowry. He makes the decision of this aircraft without any interference from you. Am I understood? Yes, sir. Seat's in the upright position. Make sure your belts are nice and tight. Flaps 20. Flaps 20. Engine 2, oil pressure 80. Engine 3, 82. We can't sustain this thrust just another minute. Feel that? That's the brakes burning. I can fly without brakes just a little while longer. Another 30 seconds, they're gonna be on our tail. Immigration doesn't send her back. Cabin crew, prepare for immediate takeoff. I may have a friend who can help. Releasing brakes. Flaps up. Command to land again. I think I'm having a heart attack. Controls. Ladies and gentlemen, that was rougher than expected. My apologies. But we are climbing normally, and we'll be reaching cruising altitude shortly.
