		Albert Paul Mantz was one of kind: a self-sure pilot who succeeded at anything he ever really wanted, be it aerobatics, a virtual monopoly on movie stunt flying or long-distance air racing.
		The key to Mantz's victories was the then-novel idea to fill his plane's wings with fuel to make the transcontinental dash a non-stop affair.
		Mantz's racing planes carried the number 46, the record of punishing consecutive outside aerobatic loops he flew in a Fleet 2 aircraft over San Mateo, California in July of 1930.

		Chris Mantz, the father who died in 1910 at the start of Corey's trilogy, advocated planting wheat, oats, barley and hay, raising dairy cows in addition to staple corn and hogs.
		Bessie Mantz strongly resisted such over extension of debt and displayed a conservative attitude bordering on distrust of the prosperity around her.
		In 1910 when Chris Mantz died and left the farm for Bessie and her children to operate, an offer was made barely after the husband was laid to rest.

		Stunt pilot Paul Mantz built a plane supposedly from parts of the C-82, but actually parts of a C-45 and a T-6.
		It was very nose-heavy, had no tail wheel and the insurance company wouldn't have anything to do with it, particularly in view of what happened to Paul Mantz.
		Some plot elements are more contrived than in the first version, including a scene in which the Phoenix is chased by horsemen and motorcycles.

	Miranda Otto
		As superfluous remakes go, Flight of the Phoenix could've been better, and could've been worse.
		It's a passable popcorn adventure, especially for those unfamiliar with the 1965 original, which starred James Stewart, made headlines for the crash-landing death of stunt-pilot Paul Mantz, and now stands as a minor classic of its era.
		This flashy remake stars Dennis Quaid in Stewart's role, adds a woman to the list of plane-crash survivors, and showcases Giovanni Ribisi, who gives a cleverly eccentric performance as the model-airplane designer who proposes to rebuild a crashed cargo plane into a single-engine escape from certain death in the remote Gobi desert.
