As a pilot I can tell you that the title of the movie is a misnomer, between the Victor and Jet airways they ARE the highways in the sky. There are 3 main forms of flying VFR, IFR and IFH/IFI (I follow highways / interstates).

And what does this have to do with slide rules you are asking yourselves, why we use our E6B's and CR's to calculate our airspeed amongst other things.

Just put this up not only because I can, but maybe we can talk about other things we use the E6B's and CR's for, I keep a CR-2 in the car so I can calculate road trips. Any other pilots out there that would like to chime in?
