Various Aircraft
What a pitty the copy was not of better quality !
Lockheed L-12A Electra Junior
Reg. NC19933 Lockeed 12 c/n 1258 was registered N19933 until its cancellation in 1970. During its tour of duty into the U.S. Army, she received the serial 38-541 as a C-40A.
Same aircraft in other movies at Frequently Seen Aircraft (Civil Fixed-Wing).
The screenplay says the flight is at level 180.
Irene (former Carrington's wife) has stollen the aircraft but soon crashed. "That was not an accident. It was a pure case of sobatage."
The magic of cinema ! Carrington got a new plane... which appears to be exactly the same.
