Question: Is it multi-player? Two guys fly while the rest shoot?

Second: It would be REALLY funny if the game came with the Boeing Officially Licensed Product logo. :P

Being up in an airplane is not the best place to be during a Zombie apocalypse. First, review the rules of Zombieland. Rules that specifically apply here are Cardio, Double Tab, When In Doubt Know Your Way Out, Check The Back Seat, and Swiss Army Knife. If you can, secure the pilot area and lock the Zombies out. Assuming the crew are Zombies you may have to deal with them. You can then fly the plane to large landing area. Do not fly to an airport because there are too many people that may have turned to Zombies there. Do not fly to an island because you will not have an escape route for the same reason you do not go into bathrooms. If you cannot secure the pilot area right away the next step gets a little messy. You will have to disable all Zombies preventing you from getting to the pilot area. Look around for anything that will help like dinner trays, glasses, laptops, luggage, forks, spoons, your Swiss army knife, etc. Now make your way to the pilot area the hard way and avoid as many as you can. You only need to secure the pilot area, Don’t Be a Hero!

Kinda of funny/crazy but my family has quite a few dinner conversations about escape plans from Zombies. For instance, if we were home what would we do, would we leave or fortify the home. Would we head north or south. What would we take with us. We all have seen many Zombie movies and they are fun discussions.
