When RAAF jets were movie stars

Postby tor lives » Tue Apr 12, 2016 9:07 pm

A little-known fact is that many RAAF aircraft have had cameos on TV shows and in movies.
This is one of my favourites:
This is the final scene of the movie "Year of Living Dangerously" and stars Mel Gibson and one very good-looking RAAF 707 carrying the fictitious "Royal Netherlands Airlines" titles. As can be seen, not much effort went into hiding her true identity.

And here is another one for the F-111 and Mirage fans

And finally one for the RAAF chopper fans (and another 707, only this time a Qantas bird)

Good grief Charlie Brown
I can't unsee that second one "Turkey Shoot", didn't even know of that movie or ever see that thank god.
You're dedication to finding any small snippit of RAAF footage is outstanding Ray

I don't know how many times I sat through Turkey shoot on 'Ten's Late Night Movie' to see the Mirage stuff near the end :D

Would you believe there is an 2014 version inspired by the original 1982 release!

How did not Linda Stoner not get a Academy Award for her convincing acting in Turkey Shoot - amazing! :?

That would make for a excellent A/CAM pizza/beer night sometime - what a shlocker!

As per usual with Linda Stoner, there are two VERY big reasons why I didn't notice her acting abilities :D

I'm guessing both you and Paul Hogan share the same issues regarding Ms. Stoner?

The full movie of Turkey Shoot is on Youtube. I offer my place up for a ACAM's movie night to watch it.

What a generous offer Troy. Maybe something to keep in mind for the Model Expo weekend perhaps.

Sure... well if I'm there this year. I have nothing built for it and my family are really keen for me to go to camping up on the Murray again. Still June is still a bit off.
