When (what year) was the movie produced? I can tell you who owned it
if you can tell me what year (or even better what month) it was
filmed. Won't be until Tuesday because Monday is a federal holiday.


"This Island Earth", with Rex Reason, Faith Domergue and Jeff Morrow,
1955. The airplane is a Stinson 108.

Thats it I couldn't remember the name of the movie.
So it's a Stinson. I remember that name from some cards
that came in, I believe Wings, cigarete packs back when
I was a kid. What ever happened to the company?
Thanks.

N9742Z is a C206, Any chance you got the number wrong? Which movie?

I recall two sci-fi movies with taildraggers as part of the plot ...
The original War of the Worlds ... but I think you may be thinking of
This Island, Earth ... where the plane gets sucked up into the belly
of a saucer, etc ... here is the link.

The preview actually shows the scene you were discussing.

Whoops, I mistyped the reg number in my search posted earlier. Funny
that it returned another Stinson.
