B747-200 with modified engines

I spoke to somebody who was after aircraft for chartering aircraft to replicate the Miami Airport Cargo apron – I presume this is what the night work is all about!

Ironically, my hometown airport ONT has been used as MIA in the movie Catch Me If You Can. It’s also been used as LAX in series like LAX and Curb Your Enthusiasm. Lot’s of commercials, as well.

Yes, It is the one that is seen on TG, It keeps getting moved around (last week being an example!)..

GASYD

I believe…that it is!

This may be a silly question but is this the same 747 you can sometime see in the background of Top Gear while Jeremy or the Hamster are test driving their wheeled rockets?

The Dunsfold 747 is used in movies isn’t it? I assume its for some space-age or super high tech film.

Possibly even the new bond film?

I said it first!!!! 😀

:rolleyes:

He is an answer!

It’s a prop for a Bond movie

You don’t say?

It’s a movie prop and they are presumably doing what’s known in the business as a ‘night shoot’ ?

The aircraft was parked there never to be flown again.

is it going to fly like this ?

hell no

is it going to fly like this ?

So they want to blow up MIA? Why else build a replica? 😉

Could be nice to see I suppose.

Pimp my Jumbo!!!

There’s a lot of nighttime activity going on down there with it. Flood lights all over the place and plenty of vehicles running around.

Those ex AAE 74’s are good for something after all.

Whoops 😀 😀 😀

You should check out this thread which is just below your’s infact 😀 😉 .

Strange looking 747

Why is this 747 fitted with B-52 type engine pods and what are the pods on the outer engine pylons? Could they be Air-to-Air Refuelling units, or am I barking up the wrong tree? 😀

Irony is lost on some people :rolleyes:

Hey I got the gag… 😀

There was a thing in the news about it the other day (24 hours news, so not a major story). It was interviewing Richard Branson who was saying that BA didn’t want the contract for the new Casino Royal and he went on to say times are changing etc and Virgins superior service is more suited to Bond’s style.
