The last few days I have had this flying over my house.
Did some research and found out that it was on tour (ended today) you could book flights for $400. Hopefully they come back next year, but they are going to Oshkosh.

Here is the best I could get.

I took these in Costa Rica while Bruce Brown was filming Endless Summer Two, the pilot, I think his name was Hoot Gibson, was doing touch and goes in the estuary and ended up crashing on the beach. In the movie it showed the two kids getting out after the crash but they weren't in it. I later made T shirts with the picture of the plane and they said, Fly Tamarindo Air, One way, Cheap.

Gasoline mortars from "Deja Vu" before we blew up the ferry in New Orleans. We used 800 gallons of gas and 2,000 feet of primacord.



Fireball from blowing up the ferry




The Flying Dutchman (Davey Jones' ship) on a gimble in an airplane hanger at the Palmdale, CA airport where we shot alot of Pirates III. Note the white fabric covered lights on the ceiling. 1,800 of them at 10,000 watts each=1.8 megawatts of lights!




Another shot of the ship on a gimble





Sets from "Prince Caspian" the second of the trilogy of "The Chronicles of Narnia" in Prague




This British guy played the lead Centaur in "Prince Caspian"




Another set picture for "Prince Caspian" in Prague




The set for the near end of "National Treasure II, Book of Secrets" where they enter the treasure cave, note the scaffolding at the top of the set the scaffolding is skinned with styrofoam and then plastered/painted




The same set note the 5,000 gpm per waterfall, EACH!!

I don't have all of my pics on my laptop, just posted some of what I had handy.

Sorry, but I can't show you pics of what we're working on now. Stayed tuned for "Surrogates" a Bruce Willis action thriller that takes place in Boston. If they pull it off, it will be a cool Sci-Fi movie.

My Uncle flew one of those. But back in the 40's it wasn't painted those pretty colors...

Roll cage for Herbie, note how it extends into the door cavity.




250 HP 1.4 liter VW engine for Herbie. Required 104 octane fuel, or better







animated Herbie that made him jump and move around




Close up of animated Herbie controls




Spare herbies, we bought just about every sunroof bug we could find and then figured out we could buy hardtop ones and staple a piece of canvas onto the roof and no one would know the diff.



Porsche content (mine) with Herbie
