How's this for irony. In actual life Air Canada Flight #141 ( they changed
the flight # in the movie ) ran out fuel and had to land at Gimli field
while an autocross was being held.

Irony #1: The movie was filmed at Boundary Bay, Vancouver B.C.  This is
where we hold 90% of our autocross events!!! Ask ace reporter Katie Kelly
about the Flight classes doing touch and go's.

Irony #2: Gimli is this year hosting the resurrection of the Canadian
National Autocross. We'll be on the lookout for falling 767's.
