Volo 243 - Atterraggio di fortuna (1990)
Miracle Landing
Un aereo di linea si sta dirigendo verso il previsto scalo all'areoporto di Honolulu. A settemila metri d'altezza, per un improvviso guasto, una parte della fusoliera vola via e il pilota è costretto a tentare un atterraggio di fortuna. Nella difficile impresa l'effettivo valore dei passeggeri e dei membri dell'equipaggio viene messo alla prova, e non mancano esempi sia di eroismo che di codardia.

Curiosità
Miracle Landing is a 1990 American made-for-television drama film based on an in-flight accident aboard Aloha Airlines Flight 243 that occurred in April 1988. The Boeing 737-200 was flying from Hilo, Hawaii to Honolulu, Hawaii, when it experienced rapid decompression when a section of the fuselage was torn away. With one flight attendant blown from the cabin to her death and 65 others injured, the aircraft was able to make a successful emergency landing at Kahului Airport, on Maui.
Production
Principal photography for Miracle Landing took place in Honolulu, Oahu, Hawaii. The aircraft used for the movie, bearing the colors of the fictitious Paradise Airlines, is a Boeing 737-297CT (Advanced), registered as N70723. At the time, it was owned by Aloha Airlines, the airline involved in the Flight 243 incident. That aircraft was used by WestJet in Canada until 2002 (re-registered as C-GCWJ). The aircraft was later scrapped in 2003.
