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.

Think big! I saw this one in Whitehorse, Yukon Canada :

http://www.roadsideattractions.ca/po...whitehorse.htm

Back in the mid 80s I was in the Orlando area and came across a bar
with an entire Beech Musketeer attached to the side of the building as
if it had crashed nose first into the upper side of the wall. I've got
a picture of it on my wall, but haven't been able to locate it on the
'net. Any of you Florida folks know what I'm talking about?

If it's not on the 'net, I might consider unframing and scanning my
pic. It's very cool looking!

Yeah, yeah, yeah. As my penance I will hang out in the People Magazine
gossip newsgroup... not.

The important point is that I got the aircraft right.

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
http://www.allmovie.com/cg/avg.dll?p=avg&sql=1:162251 IIRC, the flight
attendant who rewired the fuel dump also made the landing.

You need one of those old airliners on a pedastal converted into a home or
suite.

Look here.

Or a big propeller.

Now that our conversion to an aviation theme-suites hotel is almost
complete, we think it's time to make the *outside* of the place look more
aviation-ish. (We've only changed the inside, thus far.)

Anyone know where I can find an old Cessna 140 (for example) fuselage for
cheap that I could mount on a pole out front? Or a big ol' Convair

prop?
Something I could hoist up onto a 3-story sign, to catch the eye of
travelers?

Anyone got any better ideas? Whatever we do, it can't be unsafe, and it
shouldn't look too kitschy...

Thanks!

Why not a multicolored balloon?

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

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?)

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,


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.
