Neither's "Much Ado About Nothing," so to speak, but of the two "The
Da Vinci Code" gets the nod. (Ban'll like it too.)

By track record, the early Airbus 300s and 310s had an excessive landing
crash rates due to design vs training problems with the digital flight
controls which were very modal. This has since been resolved.
