Thank you for sharing. That is a pretty cool site.

Indeed. AWESOME! Just took it for a test spin, and it got like 5 different aircraft all that had minute appearances in a movie. Sweet!

Definitely looks like a cool site. I'm working on the Burn Notice page myself now, which didn't even exist a few hours ago (I just had to put up that beautiful DC-3 )

Oh man, I was dying to know what plane was featured in Girls Gone Wild: College Spring Break.

In all seriousness though, very cool.

I think I may have posted this somewhere before, but...

I'm a big Burn Notice fan and have always noticed the red and white DC-3 in the credits (and pilot episode). Then one day while on det and taxiing out at Nassau/New Providence's airport and there it was! I thought it was interesting that it was in the show for being, apparently, an island hopping bird. Fast forward two years later and I'm on det at Opa Locka and there it is! All of a sudden it clicked, and I realized it was a log bird between OPF and New Providence. Since much of the show is shot around Opa Locka, I see how they got the shot.

I will say this...it looks rough from the outside up close.

A while back, I was aimlessly clicking around YouTube for some clips of DC-3's taking off, and at one point I thought to myself, "That paint job looks very familiar..."

I'll have to go down to OPF and see it in person one of these days.

The funny thing is, in the actual episode where the plane is used, Michael Westen is clearly seen boarding an Antonov An-24, and then they cut to the footage of the DC-3. Maybe we can assume that he had a layover in the Bahamas and flew into Opa Locka, but I don't know how he changed planes while he was unconscious...

I think he got shot in Africa, so either way, it was a long trip. I'm sure some "handler" helped him with his luggage.

Under the sub-category of "What Were They Thinking?":

The de Havilland DH.80A Puss Moth is a three-seater high-wing monoplane aeroplane designed and built by the de Havilland Aircraft Company between 1929 and 1933. It flew at a speed approaching 124 mph (200 km/h), making it one of the highest-performance private aircraft of its era.
