Slartibartfast Posted February 14, 2013 Share Posted February 14, 2013 (edited) While not a movie, an episode of "Rescue 51" had a cameo by a B-29 water dropper during a SoCal wildfire. NMF and "orange". An older B/W movie, name unknown to me, had a B-10 play a small part sinking a German sub. "Always" also featured the B-26 Invader. The Twilight Zone episode with Billy Shatner "1941" Edited February 14, 2013 by Slartibartfast Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Allok Posted February 14, 2013 Share Posted February 14, 2013 "Enemy at the Gates" had a few Heinkels and Ju52's in it. Some good Stuka action too. "Pearl Harbor" had the B-25 segment at the end. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fastzx Posted February 14, 2013 Share Posted February 14, 2013 (edited) Strategic Air Command with Jimmy Stewart and the "magnesium overcast" B-36. Dambusters with Lancasters Catch-22 my favorite scene as the B-25s are landing one after another after a mission when the general and Milo are walking and talking......watch the General's hat at the end of scene.

fastzx Posted February 14, 2013 Share Posted February 14, 2013 (edited) Sole Survivor - Richard Baseheart and William Shatner loosely based on the Lady Be Good and also similar to the Twilight Zone "King Nine Will Not Return". Lady be Good had crashed in the Libyan desert. Found by oil surveyors about 20 years later. Jon Edited February 14, 2013 by fastzx Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

KOTR Posted February 14, 2013 Share Posted February 14, 2013 James Bond - Thunderball, with the infamous Avro Vulcan and a sea rescue B-17 (SB-17G?) Don't know if that movie is much known outside Germany, 'Des Teufels General'. The unnamed prototype plane is represented by ex-Swedish Ju-86K Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
famvburg Posted February 14, 2013 Share Posted February 14, 2013 (edited) There was a James Bond movie in the '80s or '90s that had C-123s and another in the '70s maybe that had a Beech 18. "Bombers B-52" had KC-97s, IIRC, "Flight from Ashiya", "Air America", "Hunt for Red October", "Firefox", "Ice Station Zebra", (I think all 3 used the same Tu-95 Bear model even). There was a Czech movie, many years ago, that required a Wellington. They rebuilt a C-47 or Li-2 to a look-alike with an altered fuselage. I don't recall the name or where I saw the pic, but I think it was a Czech magazine. "Flying Tigers". Hey, one of the "Jaws" movies had a Cessna 310, IIRC. "Rocky IV". "Enola Gay" (TV movie). There was a movie in the early - mid '70s about the Kennedy who was killed in WWII. Some of the Indiana Jones movies, "The Guyana Tragedy". Did I overlook "633 Squadron"? "Red Dawn" (the 'real' movie). Wasn't there a Cessna O-2 in either "Bat 21" or "Flight of the Intruder"? There have been a couple of Amelia Earhart movies and a I think one about Pancho Barnes.
