    PRODUCED BY ROSS HUNTER

    Stenciled titles over a snowy evening in the Lincoln control tower:

    WRITTEN FOR THE SCREEN AND DIRECTED BY
    GEORGE SEATON

    It’s a snowy evening in suburban Chicago’s Lincoln International Airport. From the Lincoln tower, four air traffic controllers manage takeoffs and landings along Lincoln’s two runways: Two-Two and Two-Niner.

    Two-Niner is Lincoln’s longest runway, and their most frequently used approach and departure route.

    An ATC operator tells Trans Global Flight 45 (a 707 jetliner)  they’re cleared to land on Two-Niner. Winds are at 15 knots, gusting to 25 knots. The copilot responds, saying the runway’s in sight.

    The movie’s iconic shot of the approaching runway lights fills the screen. Flight 45 touches down.
