Vultee BT-13 Valiant
Beside the T-6, modified Vultee BT-13 Valiants are also used as stand-ins for the Nakajima B5N "Kate" torpedo bombers. Look at IMPDb: Frequently Seen Aircraft.
Consolidated PBY-5 Catalina
Boeing-Stearman Model 75
Fake registration (NC 34307).
Boeing B-17F/G Flying Fortress (acting as B-17 Es)
To portray the then scarce B-17E, the makers of Tora Tora Tora used later models of the B-17 modified to resemble the earlier model. These aircrafts include :
- B-17F 42-29782 now displayed at the Museum of Flight in Seattle as "Boeing Bee";
- B-17G 44-83563 owned by the Wings of Eagles Museum in Santa Ana California as "Fuddy Duddy";
- B-17G 44-85829 now flown by the Yankee Air Museum in Willow Run Michigan as "Yankee Lady".
The two others (including Reg. N620L s/n 44-85840, lost during summer 1973) were used as fire fighting bombers and were lost during the seventies.
Curtiss P-40E Kittyhawk
Two former RCAF (Royal Canadian Air Force) privately own Curtiss P-40E's Kittyhawks were used for the dogfight.
Curtiss P-40 Mock
Despite acting as Curtiss P-40 B/C which has a different shape, two dozens of mocks similar to the flyable aircraft were built with fiber glass (some powered in order to taxi). Of course, none of them could fly.
Same footage reused for The Final Countdown - look at IMPDb: Frequently Seen Aircraft.
Vultee BT-15 Valiant (as Aichi D3A)
Registration N67629, c/n 42-42171. Same aircraft in other movie atIMPDb: Frequently Seen Aircraft.
