“During the deep dive into all things Apollo 13 amid preproduction for the film, Jim Lovell took me night-flying in his twin-engine Beechcraft Baron from a grass-strip airfield outside of Austin, Texas. No one was at the airport, so after a pilot check walkaround of the airplane, we took off.” — Tom Hanks
