Looking for a fuselage

Hey -- isn't that the one that has the amazing changing "N" number? :-)

It seems to me that this movie has one of the biggest aviation gaffes of
all
time, showing a different Cessna on the ground than in the air.

(Or am I remembering a different movie?)

Yep, that's right..

I also remember that the effects with that fuselage were kind of cheesy.. I
didn't know it was a hand made prop till seeing that auction. Watching the
movie I couldn't help but think the prop was digitally superimposed, or
something.

Here's a somewhat 'famous' fuselage for sale. Price reduced, also. It
was
$8k last time they listed it...

Or how about Jimmy Smits in a recent West Wing episode flying a Canadian
registered aircraft, supposedly out of an airport in Iowa....try Brantford,
ON (CYFD).

Nope, I believe I saw the biggest gaffe recently in a stinkeroo about
terrorists taking over a 747 in flight. First a strike team was
inserted into the jumbo via a modified SR71. Next a stewardess started
a fuel dump by reversing wire-nut connections on two pairs of THHN,
which happened to be the only wires in an enclosure. But a terrorist
took one look at the reversed wires, and re-twisted them back to the
normal configuration. Top that!

If you are referring to the Kirk Douglas movie, "Executive Decision," the
modified aircraft was a modified F-117 Stealth Fighter.

You misspelt Russell. It was the best Steven Segall movie ever. He died in
the first 10 minutes.

No, I remember that one too unfortunately, it had a lot of detail
about the insertion. The one I'm thinking of reduced that part to a
couple of blurps with a screw gun. I think this might be it

attendant who rewired the fuel dump also made the landing.

You mean, we *can't* dump all the fuel on an airliner overboard with a
screwdriver?

Dang.

Of course we can. I saw Harrison Ford do it in "Air Force One." :-)

He who would distinguish what is true from what is false must have an
adequate understanding of truth and falsehood.

How about the movie where Ahnold kills his seatmate just before the
plane takes off, then manages to sneak down to the landing gear by
cutting through a flimsy plastic cover....he never seems to pass
through a pressure bulkhead.
