• For the finale, HBO chartered a real Boeing 737 that Fielder piloted with 150 actors on a loop from San Bernardino to Las Vegas over the Mojave Desert
• During the interview, he dubbed the mission the “Miracle Over the Mojave” and argued it eclipses the Miracle on the Hudson by landing safely on land
