* CharacterTitle
* CoolPlane: Tupolev Tu-144.

* IdenticalLookingAsians: Parodied and inverted. In a DeletedScene Rubik (Armenian, short, plump, with a PermaStubble) and Mimino (Georgian, TallDarkAndHandsome, with a PornStache) ride a hotel elevator with the two [[InexplicablyIdenticalIndividuals inexplicably identical Japanese men]]. One of the Japanese tells to another: "These Russians are all alike"

* MistakenForSpecialGuest: Rubik gets his hotel room because he happens to have the same surname as famous endocrinologist. While Mimino himself got the same hotel room because he was told to pretend like he is endocrinologist too or otherwise he wouldn't get the room at all.

** And yet another scene when airport official mistook Mimino for a son of his old friend who fought alongside him in UsefulNotes/WorldWarII.
*** It's not quite clear whether he mistook him or whether it was a SecretTestOfCharacter.
* NakedFirstImpression

* ItsASmallWorldAfterAll: Overlaps with ContrivedCoincidence. In one scene, after having become an international pilot and flying all around the world, Mimino has a short stay between flights in West Germany. He goes to town to look for a toy crocodile to bring back to Khachikyan (for the latter's kid) and then tries to phone a number in his home village, Telavi. However, the operator, having misheard him, connects him to the same number in ''Tel Aviv''. So far, so good, the two places do sound somewhat alike. What is less likely is that he speaks to somebody named Itzhak, who is a Georgian Jew, originally from Kutaisi; while there are quite a few Georgian Jews who emigrated to Israel, even before the fall of the USSR, the likelihood of just happening to call one by accident is somewhat low. However, it serves to show both Mimino's heart of gold, as he spends all his money on the phone call to console the homesick Itzhak (who, after talking to Mimino for a while, asks him how things are in Kutaisi, then sings Georgian songs with him and starts to cry on the phone) and has to walk back to the airport, and to remind him of his own homesickness.

** How Mimino got that hotel room: he calls someone who knows someone who can get him a hotel room. After he came home to couple's home who are connected enough, says his name, they arrange everything on the phone and he leaves, they both wonder how exactly he is related to them at all.

** And yet another scene when airport official mistook Mimino for a son of his old friend who fought alongside him in UsefulNotes/{{WWII}}.

* AFatherToHisMen: Givi Ivanovich, Mimino's boss, when he was civilian pilot in Tbilisi.
