They were down to the last Coffman cartridge and it finally started.
BTW, the plane in the movie was a Fairchild C-82 Packet, an earlier, smaller version on the Fairchild C-119 Flying Boxcar discussed earlier in this thread. (The flying plane was a totally different plane modified by Mantz to look sort of like the static plane.)
(Edit): the new "Flight of the Phoenix" (2004) used a C-119 instead of a C-82 Packet, and used and RC model for the flying version.
