Guerrero, Van Heflin's character name in this film, was also the name of the Mexican town in the film They Came to Cordura (1959), in which Heflin's character, US Army trooper John Chawk, earned a Medal of Honor for his bravery in a battle with Mexican bandits that took place there.

Goofs
At the end of the film when the hole in the aircraft is being examined, the thin, aluminum skin of the aircraft is splayed out like the petals of a flower. In actuality, the torn skin of the aircraft would be bent toward the back of the plane by the 500 mph wind blowing by.

Before the landing Capt. Demerest requests a PAR approach. The Air Traffic Control officer replies "Roger this will be a Precision Radar Approach..." which would have an acronym of PRA. However, PAR refers to Precision Approach Radar, the type of radar equipment used in the approach. The approach itself is commonly referred to as a "Precision Radar Approach" by pilots and controllers. Confusing, but the movie lines are accurate.

In older releases, when the plane is shown flying out of and over the cloud cover, wires can be seen holding the aircraft up. The wires are not visible in the DVD version, except the first time the plane is shown flying up out of the cloud cover, when you can see the wires holding up the plane.
