Trivia
When auditioning the kids a year before filming began, none of the kids knew what the film was about. When asked what they wanted to be when they grow up, they all answered Doctor or teacher. Except for one boy, Hussein Al-Sous. He wanted to become a pilot. He was the boy chosen to play Murad in the film.

The director has a cameo as the very first janitor to cross frame in the beginning of the film. The next shot, a pilot crosses frame leading the camera to Abu Raed. That headless pilot is producer David Pritchard.
Share this
The passing captain that Murad looks up to at the airport is a real pilot for Royal Jordanian. That is Captain Ramzi Matalqa, the director's father.

Goofs
The film opens and closes with a pilot standing at large airport windows. In the twenty or so years in which Murad grew up, something would have likely changed, for example models of airplanes, architecture in the airport, and pilot's uniforms.

It would be unlikely that a pilot of Noor's age (early thirties) would have acquired enough seniority to be a pilot or co-pilot of the wide bodied aircraft Royal Jordanian use to fly to New York.
