widereceiver 88 Posted August 28, 2010 Report Share Posted August 28, 2010 I don't know if anyone picked it up, but there is a difference between the two planes in Smuggler's Blues. The first one in the hangar, the enjines have 3 propeller blades. On the runway in Colombia, the enjines have 2 propeller blades.Looks like it's from the Lockheed 14's range.

Beach_Vice Posted September 20, 2010 Report Share Posted September 20, 2010 I always thought the aircraft in 'Smuggler's Blues' was a Beechcraft 18. I never thought to look closely at it. It could be a lockheed. Now I'm curious. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I was looking at some stuff earlier and you`re right...It isn`t a Lockheed at all...It is (at least it looks like)a Beechcraft C 45 Expeditor Utility/Trainer aircraft.....

Sonny-Burnett Posted December 20, 2010 Report Share Posted December 20, 2010 Just stating the obvious"When IrishEyes Are Crying"...Concorde...Retired in 2003...Has anyone seen this particular aircraft in the air...? I did some years ago at Heathrow. I first heard this ungodly loud roar and turned to see this ungainly looking airplane making its takeoff roll. It's the loudest plane I can ever recall hearing.
