The survivors fashion "a flying sled with people on the wings" out of the wings and one of the tail booms (containing the remaining engine) and some of their mining equipment, and fly that to safety after a series of misadventures.

And it's boring as hell, by design. If being a fire watch is exciting, you're doing it wrong. :P
Added DiffLines:
* NoOSHACompliance: {{Deconstructed}}. On the first night working on converting Frank and A.J.'s C-119 into the ''Phoenix'', sparks from a careless circular saw wielder accidentally set fire to the aviation fuel they're burning to light up the worksite. The ensuing fire burns so much of their fuel they have to work in daylight for the remainder of the film, lest they not have enough gas to fly the plane to safety. Professional oil rig workers ought to know to be more careful of sparks when cutting or welding metal around flammable materials (many "hot work" crews even have "fire watches", a person whose job is to literally watch for fires and keep flammable materials clear of the work area).
