The forthcoming Tom Cruise movie “The Mummy” features a scene where a C-130 flies into a flock of brdis and plummets from the sky. The characters sitting in the cargo hold are then tossed hither and yon. Normally in a big budget flick this would probably be done with CGI. Maybe some wire work. But this time they went the “Apollo 13” route and actually built a set inside a modified jetliner, and shot scenes while the jetliner performed parabolic “zero g” maneuvers.
