"War of the Worlds" Aircraft - Liaison aircraft

This is the plane that Clayton Forrester and Sylvia
van Buren use to escape the first battle.

The "War of the Worlds" drinking game goes something
like this:

When Clayton takes off his glasses, have a drink.

When Clayton puts on his glasses, have a drink.

When Sylvia screams, you need a drink.

Looks more like a Chief. It's been some time since I've seen the film, but
I believe the airplane had side-by-side seating. The L-16 had tandem
seating.

Here's a picture of the actors in the cabin. It's possible that they
used two different types of aircraft in the scene, so this picture
may not settle the identity question.

His necktie is either too tight or the gal has grabbed the control stick.

Cheers,

I based my L-16 comment on the vertical stabilizer/dorsal fin.

Same tail on Champs and Chiefs.

Here are two more pictures of the whatever-aircraft. They're
the best caps I could get of the plane. I don't know if the
plane in the crash scene is the same one in the flying scenes.
