Movie (1994)

Starring:
Wesley Snipes (Pete Nessip)
Gary Busey (Ty Moncrief)
Yancy Butler (Jessie Crossman)
Michael Jeter (Earl Leedy)

When his brother is killed whilst escorting a cyber-criminal on a transport flight, Pete Nessip sets out to prove that those responsible are still alive and to stop them completing their master plan. To do this he must team up with a group of skydivers and get on the inside.

Boeing 747-146

Seen transporting Leedy and subsequent 'jailbreak'. Shown in fictional PAC Atlantic Air livery, registration N704CK, c/n 20528/191 of American International Airways (precursor to Kalitta Air). Broken up at Opa-Locka Executive Airport in Florida sometime during or after 2006. Same aircraft in other works at IMPDb: Frequently Seen Aircraft (Civil Fixed-Wing).
Kalitta later operated two more 747s with the N704CK registration that this aircraft should not be confused with; a 747-209F/SCD with c/n 22299/462 that broke up on take-off at Brussels in 2008, and a 747-246F/SCD with c/n 23391/654 that is now in storage.

A hole can be seen in the rear port fuselage.

Bell 206B JetRanger

The second Bell carries the registration N57BL, serial 3167.
Same aircraft in other movies at IMPDb: Frequently Seen Aircraft (Rotary-Wing).

Fairchild Pilatus PC-6/B1-H2 Turbo Porter

Jessie's plane is seen throughout the movie.
Reg. N346F Fairchild Pilatus PC-6/B1-H2 c/n 2001 built in 1966.

Cessna 172 Skyhawk

Seen in the background at Jesse's airfield. Registration N6497B, c/n 29697 built in 1957. An early fastback model.

Cessna 175 Skylark & Cessna 182A Skylane & Cessna 172 Skyhawk

Left to right: derelict fuselage is Cessna 175 Skylark registration N9351B, c/n 55151.
Cessna 182 with yellow cheatlines is registration N3720D, c/n 34420.
Cessna 172 with red cheatlines marked with registration N54743, which seems to be false. Likely one of the four 172s used in the filming of Licence to Kill, which were painted identically with this registration. Recent photos show an airframe with the same livery (though the 3 is now painted as an 8) acting as a gate guardian at Sugar Loaf Shores Airport, where this was filmed, until it was removed around 2011.

Douglas DC-3A-197E

Registration N129H, c/n 4126 built in 1941. Used by Moncrief's crew for their skydives. Another DC-3 is also used by another team, but in military livery.

Douglas C-47A-65-DL Skytrain

Registration N3239T, c/n 19054 built in 1943. Carried serial 42-100591 with the USAAF, 2100591 with the Royal Norwegian Air Force, and 68-684 / K-684 with the Royal Danish Air Force before going back to the US for preservation with the Valiant Air Command Museum.
