Factual error: Lynyrd Skynyrd's plane crashed in the early evening in October 1977. Injured crash survivor Artimus Pyle, tended to the severely injured people and later was able to walk through the swamp and the woods in the dark to get help, but in the movie when the plane crashes and Pyle's search for help it's a bright sunny day.
Factual error: The aircraft shown in the movie is a DC-3, however the correct aircraft would have been a Convair CV-240 which is a very different model.
