Other US planes in movieis:
Die Hard II - I'm trying to remember correctly if there was a scene at Terminal E at the old DEN Stapleton airport that had a US 727
Planes, Trains, & Automobiles did indeed have a USAir plane in it, but I think it was a DC-9-30 in the old red colors.
I don't remember the name of the movie, but the made for TV movie about the Air Florida crash in DCA had lots of DCA footage and showed a BAC 1-11 in it.
That movie was Flight 90: Disaster on the Potomac.
The scene in Die hard II was in the beginning as Col. Stuart (William Sadler) was stretching in his hotel room. It was a 737-300 I think. The 727 at the end is an ATA bird.
As for Planes, Trains & Automobiles, they must have shot the snow scene at one of the NE airports, because there were 4-5 DC-9's in the shot all in the 3 shades of rust livery.
In Police Academy 5, they filmed at the old PBI terminal. One scene has a clear view of the ticket counter, and a scene filmed at gates 1-3 you can see the tail of a 737 out the window.
Don't forget a USAir 727-200 is in a Go-Go's video!
