We chopped up an L-1011 at the Palmdale airport and shipped it by barge to Honolulu. Placed it on the beach for the pilot. The beach is up near Dillingham Field/Schofield Barracks on the NW corner of Oahu. Plane was then sort of reassembled and some mechanical effects added like a moving wing and dropping engine. The guy sucked into the engine was a stuntman pulled into the engine hole and the spinning turbine and explosion were CGI' in during post production. The plane was taken off the beach after a month or so, when we completed the pilot and warehoused. Most of it is not on a soundstage (warehouse) in Honolulu.
