In the early scenes of this episode, a passenger says to Mac, "What are you, a rocket scientist?" Well, in the film Apollo 13 Gary Sinese played Ken Mattingly, one of the original Apollo 13 pilots. Prevented from flying to the Moon because he contracted a virus, Mattingly played a large role in helping the crew solve the problem of power conservation during re-entry, so indeed he was a rocket scientist.

Sinise Shines In Excellent Episode
ccthemovieman-124 January 2011
Warning: Spoilers
SPOILERS This was a very interesting episode with no nonsense, which is why I like CSI New York best of all the three CSI programs. That usually isn't a lot of soap opera material; just a straight crime story. At least.....usually.
That's the case here as Mac is flying to Washington, D.C., and discovers somebody had their throat slashed in the lavatory and bled to death. The man was an air marshal and his gun is missing, which adds to the tension in this show. The first half of this episode is very tense.
The second half of it is the detective work, after the plane is turned around lands back in New York. A twist occurs early when the murdered man turns out not be a marshal, but an escaped criminal.
The question is: who on the plane is a murderer? We find out there were a number of things going on, with a surprise ending. All in all, lots of good stuff in here. Gary Sinise is outstanding and I like how "Mac" handled himself in that emergency plane situation.
