2007-06-04 17:36 | The Airplane in the top row of pics is probably not real (or a replica) becasue I believe all the originals were crashed. Anyway its a 1932 Gee Bee R1 Supersportster The engine is Pratt and Whitney Wasp ~ 800HP. -- Last edit: 2007-06-04 17:36:27 |

2007-06-04 18:07 | You are right, Wrenchhead, it is a replica of the Gee Bee Model Z Super Sportster. Only one of this type was built and crashed December 5th, 1931. http://www.fantasyofflight.com/aircraftpages/geebee.htm |

2007-06-04 18:52 | good movie..shame Disney didnt put as much effort into plugging it like they do with their cartoons..the only place i remember seeing a decent write up on the movie when it was new was in a British Sci Fi fanzine...thus it bombed at the cinema, but went well onto video and allways gets a good audience when its on TV. |
