Movie (1983)
Starring:
Sam Shepard (Chuck Yeager)
Ed Harris (John Glenn)
Dennis Quaid (Gordon Cooper)
Scott Glenn (Alan Shepard)
Fred Ward (Virgil "Gus" Grissom)
(Synopsis needed)
Bell X-1 (Replica)
The first aircraft to break the sound barrier, flown by Chuck Yeager. This replica is now on display at the California Science Center in Los Angeles.
Boeing B-29 Superfortress
This carries the Bell X-1 and X-1A. Played by famed CAF B-29 "FiFi".
Boeing EB-50A Superfortress
The B-29 mothership is too figured by this archive footage of a later Boeing B-50 Superfortress; a scene taken from Jet Pilot - look at IMPDb: Frequently Seen Aircraft.
Bell X-1A
Yeager achieves a new speed record of Mach 2 in this.
Lockheed F-104G Starfighter
At the end of the film, Yeager goes for a new speed record in this. The actual plane flown by Yeager in real life was an NF-104A. Three demilitarized versions with an additional 6,000 lbf (27 kN) Rocketdyne LR121/AR-2-NA-1 rocket engine, used for astronaut training at altitudes up to 120,800 ft (36,820 m).
Hawker Hunter
After Yeager's Bell X-1 flights, Scott Crossfield sets a new record in the Douglas D-558-2 Skyrocket (represented in this film by a modified Hawker Hunter).
Beechcraft T-34 Mentor
Douglas A-4F Skyhawk
In the scene where Alan Shepard is introduced, we see him landing this on an aircraft carrier (the USS Coral Sea), in an A-4F masquerading as an earlier A4D-2.
Ling-Temco-Vought A-7 Corsair II
On the USS Coral Sea, we see several A-7 Corsair IIs (inaccurate for this time period) probably masquerading as Vought F8U Crusaders, which they slightly resemble.
Grumman C-1 Trader
Northrop T-38 Talon
Sikorsky SH-3 Sea King
This retrieves Alan Shepard after he re-enters Earth's atmosphere in his capsule.
Sikorsky H-34 Choctaw
Look how the Choctaw is finely reproducing the real one seen in When We Left Earth: The NASA Missions (last three picture of the section).
Bell UH-1 Iroquois
Three UH-1s are seen in the movie, a UH-1D painted as a NASA helicopter and 2 US Army UH-1Hs visible in the background during the same scene.
Lockheed HC-130H Hercules
North American F-86 Sabre
Boeing RC-135 Rivet Joint
Lockheed T-33 Shooting Star
Convair F-106 Delta Dart
