Also from this series:

Iron Eagle
Iron Eagle II
Aces: Iron Eagle III

North American T-6 Texan

Chappy's flight school uses a fleet of these aircraft. These are in reality ex-Royal Canadian Air Force Harvard Mk 4's.

General Dynamics F-16A Netz

First seen in the beginning of the film in an alternative take of the beginning of Iron Eagle II where Doug Masters bails out of his plane. Later on at the end of the film they are used by officers in the corrupt unit and also by Doug who uses one to shoot the others down. The scenes using these aircraft are largely lifted from the earlier films in the Iron Eagle series.

Lockheed C-130E Hercules

Used by the rogue unit to take the chemical weapons to Cuba. It is hijacked by Peter and Kitty who jettison the weapons canisters and take out the crew before landing back at the base.

Bell 206L-1 LongRanger

Used by Major General Kettle, first to take Chappy to Craig Airforce Base and then in an attempt to get away. It is shot down by Doug in the F-16.
Registration C-HFKJ. C/N 45116.

The scale model used for the LongRanger's destruction appears to be a Bell JetRanger in a continuity error.

McDonnell Douglas F-4 Kurnass

A repeat of the opening of Iron Eagle II these are described as Russian MiG 29s who escort Masters' F-16 out of Soviet Airspace and shoot his plane down.

Zenair CH-701

Crop duster which finds the convoy transporting the chemical weapons. Registration C-FVMO. C/N VCZS-10.

Waco Classic Aircraft YMF-5C

Seen early on in the movie when Chappy's pupils go up against children of officers from the airforce base in a training exercise. Registration C-GKLH. Serial F5030.
