Film:
* ''Franchise/IndianaJones'':
** In ''Film/IndianaJonesAndTheTempleOfDoom'' the pilots bail out of Indy's plane to try and kill him.  Indy takes the controls, admits he doesn't know how to fly it, and then quickly discovers the pilots emptied the fuel tank anyway.
** In ''Film/IndianaJonesAndTheLastCrusade'' Indy and his father have to leave the zeppelin in an escape plane docked to it.  This time Indy says he can fly, but not land.  They get attacked by German fighters, and Henry accidentally shoots their rudder full of holes, but Indy manages to get the plane on the ground with no injuries.
* In ''Film/{{Airplane}}'' Ted Striker is forced to take control of the airliner after the entire flight crew gets sick.  Ted ''has'' flown planes before, but unfortunately they were single-engine fighters.  Not quite the same thing.
