- Also due to budget cuts, there are no money for radios in said helicopters. Therefore, pilots will have to fly together and face each so that they can communicate via sign language. <
Actually this is more or less accurate. The helicopters would be on what is known as a "black op". That is a top secret or beyond mission that "does not exist nor will it ever exist".
Part of the opsec(operational security) would be 100% radio silence. Even with 2010 technology the most secure encrypted communications will send something into the ether which is detectable at some level. Someone with proper knowledge and training can detect what goes out and depending on what they know make use of the data and possibly locate and track the mission.
Therefore the pilots would be using hand signals and visual communications which would not require radio communication.

- Schlumpy newspaper reporters can also be excellent (i.e. physics defying) stunt drivers when needed.
- It is possible to not only survive a 100 mph crash from a drawbridge into water, pre-airbag, but also swim to shore without a mark to show for it.

- After being shot at by helicopters while clinging to the wing of a cropduster, you immediately get in a Nissan Z-car and drive from West Texas to Virginia (Arlington National Cemetery) without changing your filthy, tattered NASA jumpsuit or otherwise cleaning up in any way.

Brubaker's funeral was going to be right outside of Houston, per the conversation Kelloway had with his wife by the pool. Not that it's really THAT much more plausible that he wouldn't at least want to change clothes and wash his face, but it's a little more plausible. -

IMDBers ought to give these "Things I learned after watching" threads a rest. Or better yet pension them off to a retirement home for elderly jokes.
They were never very funny to begin with, but now that they have proliferated like rabbits they've become IMDB's version of the "Knock knock" gag: everybody's doing them and they're starting to sound alike as well as lame. -

46 That when Hal Holbrook says put everybody you have to the west in your search, that of coarse means the same two helicopters you have been using the whole time.
That's awesome - I can't believe I never thought of that before. Good point.
Wait a minute who am I here? -

That was a kick-ass point.
Life can be a comedy or a tragedy, it all depends on how you look at it.
