I tend to pick apart movies and look for technical flaws. I do it with
books too. 

One thing I noticed the last time I saw "Airport" was that When Burt
Lancaster was sitting in his company station wagon on the field
he wanted to monitor the incoming damaged aircraft on his radio.
The tower told him what the frequency was (117 or 118Mhz area).
There was a closeup shot of him tuning in the signal that clearly
showed that the receiver he had was a public service band monitor
that only tuned 150 to 170 MHz! 

I also remember watching an old Hoppalong Cassidy western years ago
and seeing a Greyhound bus in the background.....
