==Production== [[File:SST Death Flight screenshot.png|thumb|''SST: Death Flight'' relied heavily on models of the canceled Lockheed SST prototype.]] Poor production values predominated in ''SST: Death Flight''. During filming, the production was called ''Flight of the Maiden''. A major historical error was in depicting an American SST as the first of its kind. The aviation sequences utilized a scale model of what was basically a [[Concorde]] lookalike with [[Boeing 747]] [[turbofan]] engines attached. Other shots were completed using a mock-up of a [[Lockheed L-2000]], a prototype the company had created when Americans were still pursuing their own SST programs.<ref name="Callaway p. 87">Callaway 2013, p. 87.</ref> {{#tag:ref|The [[Boeing 2707]] was also a contemporary SST program, that like the Lockheed entry, was eventually cancelled in 1971.<ref name="Callaway p. 87"/>|group=Note}} Airport scenes were filmed at the [[John F. Kennedy International Airport]] in [[New York City|New York]], where various terminals, runways, boarding areas and cargo loading bays were featured.<ref>[http://www.airports-worldwide.com/usa/new_york/john_f_kennedy_intl_new_york.php "John F.
