She's a beauty!


Is this the same type plane, that Indy Jones flew in, with Reggie the snake, in Raiders of the Lost Ark?

If you remember that was a two seat plane...


Anyway I did a search:...



Here is an excerpt from The Raiders of the Lost Ark Collector's Album
"After an exhaustive search for Indiana Jones's South American escape plane, this l930s Waco biplane was finally located in Junction City Oregon. Owned and cherished by Henry and Alice Strauch, the plane was the only one found that fit all the requirements of the movie - single engine, open cockpit, and the original floaters which allowed for landing and taking off on water. Production designer Norman Reynolds had the plane painted to match the aircraft of the period, and added a small touch of humor as well - note the use of the two Star Wars characters OB (as in Obi-Wan Kenobi) and 3PO as the plane's identification numbers. This valuable antique plane finally returned home to Oregon and its regular routine - Henry Strauch flies it to work and back each day."
