Tell you what...Get the DVD, play it on your computer, stop at the frame you'd like and do a little thing called 'screen capture'. ltdiver Don't tell me the sky's the limit when there are footprints on the moon Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
ltdiver 3 #28 October 20, 2007 Okay, if you all can stomach it, I just stumbled upon the original Fandango movie trailer. http://hotflick.net/videos/Sam_Robards/# (third down on the left column) I'd rather just go watch the movie now....ltdiver Don't tell me the sky's the limit when there are footprints on the moon Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

That was not a call for some one to do it for me. Thank you though. I sent you a PM with my email addresses in it, for I cannot make it public the true ID of ~El Josh AKA Ruby DS #149 Yes I only have 3 jumps...it's the magic number dude.

billabx 1 #34 November 8, 2007 Thanks for reminding me about this. I hadn't thought about it for quite awhile. Rande and I were talking about filming Fandango one of the last times I saw him before he died. He told me that the producers told him to find a plane to use and he went out and bought a cherry late model used 182 and brought it home (Pope Valley?) to prep for the film. As he was wheeling it into the paint shop. a local pilot inquired about buying it. After the paint and interior were done, the same pilot told asked him if he was really stupid enough to fly that thing! After the filming was finished they let Rande keep the plane and he said for months afterward he had almost round the clock free security from the local sherif's office. They were positive it had to be used for flying dope and staked it out to catch the smugglers! As a footnote, I never realized until the 1981(?) Nationals when Rande and I were working with a small independant film crew what an incredible pilot he was. We were shooting exit shots of the teams from the DC-3's and one of our guys was in a 182 that Rande was flying in formation. He parked that Cessna's right main gear about four feet above and a foot over the left wingtip of the 3 and it looked like it was welded there! I think he said later when we were talking about it that he had been an F-4 instructor in the USAF. Who knew? At any rate, he was a great friend and is greatly missed to this day.

billabx 1 #35 November 9, 2007 A correction to that. The plane is a 172 as I originally remembered Rande saying, not a 182. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
JSBIRD 1 #36 November 9, 2007 The Cessna used in Fandango, N2673R, is a 1967 Cessna 182K BASE359"Now I've settled down, in a quiet little town, and forgot about everything" Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
billabx 1 #37 November 10, 2007 On closer review of the stills from an earlier post, it does appear to be a 182. I originally remember Rande saying it was a 172 (which I thought a little strange at the time) and looking at the stills, the spinner appeared to be for a fixed-pitch prop. When I looked again, I can see the prop control on the instrument panel and cowl flaps in one of the head-on shots. I stand corrected. Guess I've lost more brain cells than I thought since then.

mrmuff 0 #38 January 4, 2009 Right you are... Rande was one hell of a pilot & photographer. While in the Air Force he instructed students in T-38's out of arizona. The 182 in question (73R) went to our dad after Rande passed, and is now owned by our uncle (Sam). After our dad died in '89, our uncle flew the 182 (still referred to as "Picasso") while myself and Becky Livingston (now Davies) leaped from 13,5 for the aerial burial "ash" dive over the high desert in So Cal. Hard to believe its been 23 years since Randes' passing, and you're right he's still greatly missed to this day. John Deluca Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

mrmuff 0 #42 January 22, 2009 negative...The interior has been completely redone; complete with extra soundproofing; engine, seats; and most recently a new windshield. Its parked at a local airport here in southern California and flies mainly around socal and arizona Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
DBCOOPER 5 #43 January 23, 2009 I'd love to do the inside of my 182 like that one. Know of any interior shots other than screen grabs?Replying to: Re: Stall On Jump Run Emergency Procedure? by billvon If the plane is unrecoverable then exiting is a very very good idea.
