Tom Clancy’s Jack Ryan: Ghost War 2026. Incorrect procedure.
So i have watched the brand new film and it’s a great film, but i noticed a very niche mistake in a particular scene. The scene depicts a casket being loaded on to an MC-130J by US Air Force personnel, but what they have failed to do is follow correct loading procedures by loading the casket with human remains feet first when it should in fact be head first. Working in Air Transportation within the Air Force, and actually having to do this particular movement myself it is something i instantly spotted but to the average viewer it’s something you just wouldn’t notice, this is my first ever movie mistake i have noticed and I’m strangely proud of my self!😂. Here’s some snippets from official regulations:
AFI34-1201, Chapter 2, Para 2.10.13 states: On a closed casket, the flag will be placed lengthwise, with the union at the head and over the left shoulder of the deceased (Figure 2.13.)
DAFI24-605v2, Section 3e, Para 3.34.5 states: Transfer cases containing remains will be stowed on the aircraft/pallet in a level position. (T-1) The feet will never be higher than the head while in the stowed position and the
head will always be stowed toward the nose of the aircraft. (T-1) This procedure assures
aircraft acceleration forces are borne by the feet, thereby avoiding trauma to the head.
