GodzillaFan54 ◊ 2024-06-10 16:56	1977 made-for-TV disaster movie about the maiden flight of America's first SST plane, Maiden 1. The United States did intend to launch their own super-sonic plane to compete with France's Concorde, but got themselves too wrapped up in SST bans and bureaucracy and the project was scrapped in 1971. A disgruntled airline employee sabotages the plane's hydraulic system, leading to explosive decompression which opens a canister containing a deadly sample of influenza, causing the plane to be denied entry to any country's airport and it thusly needs to make an emergency landing. Notable for being one of the first movies mocked on Mystery Science Theater 3000. Representing Maiden 1 are models of the Lockheed L-2000 prototype, one such SST plane the US was developing. For IMPDb! Though the interior is far too wide to be that of an SST plane Actually the inside of a Lockheed L-1011 wide-body. A 2-star Jeep that is not visible enough to list and some one-star cars either also not visible enough or too far away And of course the lovely Miss SST Airdate: February 25th, 1977
