A space wis chosen, There was insufhcient room to make a safe landing or take-off Lacn ascent and descent was hazard- ous, The pilot of i... plane in whi n Holt was flying was ordered to make @ landing here. Although the pilot descended cautiously at a reduced speed, the speed was too great ro negotiate the landing safely, In an attempt to avoid a grove of t.ecs, the pilot looped over nto a larranca, Outside of a few bruises, neither the pot nor Holt were injured, The plane was smashed, but did uot catch tire, 'Ihe lanuing was made' at the extreme far ei. of the roughust section of the site. As there were no real roads, it took nearly half an hour for men and trucks to get to the spot where tiz® plane crashed... When director Fran. Capra arrived on the scene, he ex- pected to see Holt and the pilot 2i- ther killed outright or seriously iu- jured. He was happy to find only an injured plane, This little escapade did not pre- vent Capra from making scenes that involved just as much danger. "Flight" is crammed full of death- defying and thrilling situations, Jack Holt, Lila Lec and Ralph Graves play the lcadng roles.
