Hi Everyone,

I just came back from watching the new Mission Impossible flick in the theaters. Included in the previews was the 6-minute prologue for the upcoming final installment of Christopher Nolan's Batman movies, Dark Knight Rises. In this prologue, there are two aircraft that are used during a heist. I was able to take note of each pf the aircraft's tail numbers so I could look them up when I returned home. Here is what i have gathered from various internet searches:


N121TG (C-130A, ex #56-0511): Used to be with the Montana Air National Guard in 1985 and also Rhode Island ANG, was then used to fight fires and has since been bought by International Air Response.

ZS-NVB (EMB-110P1): Owned/Operated by Batair Cargo out of South Africa.

Just thought that some film buffs would like to know!

Best Regards,
