Season Two
Chrysler Mercury Redstone
Ep. 04 Le singe est dans la fusée.
Takeoff on January 31, 1961 for the flight of the Mercury-Redstone #2 mission with the chimpanzee christened Ham for a suborbital fight.
Sud Aviation SE 210 Caravelle I
Ep. 09 Tovaritch Merlaux.
Reg. F-BHRA Sud Aviation SE 210 Caravelle I s/n 1 of Air France which christened her Alsace.
Flight career from March 1959 until end of 1975 with a two month long upgrade to modify her into a Series III (February / March 1961). Once grounded, she was used in the Air France mechanical instruction center at Vilgénis (near Paris, France) from 1976 until 2006. Sold in 2011 to a Dutch collector and display at Baarlo, Limburg, Netherlands.
Same aircraft in other works at IMPDb: Frequently Seen Aircraft (Civil Fixed-Wing).
Boeing 747SP-86
Ep. 09 Tovaritch Merlaux.
An unwanted background as the Boeing 747 first flew only eight years after the action set on August 1961; and more over 1976 for the SP.
Director tried to shot the scene in order to hide the cockpit and let think it's just a Boeing 707.
The livery correspond to an ex Iran Air airplane.
Ilyushin Il-14P
Ep. 09 Tovaritch Merlaux.
Fictitious registration : CCCP-0613 / SSSR-0613 is too short.
But an Ilyushin Il-14P reg. СССР-06132 s/n: 146000709 is displayed in an open air museum at Ulyanovsk, Russia. This aircraft has a red/orange fadding band enclosing her windows and Aeroflot title is slighty different.
