Airplanes and Movies Quiz

In addition to airplanes I also love movies, especially movies with airplanes.

Here is a list of movies that feature unusual airplanes (like the Northrop XB49 flying wing) or common airplanes that don't get any cinematic love (e.g. the Phantom).

See if you can match them up without using google.

Visual Aviation Quiz

I am a fan of aviation and quizzes, so here is a combination of both.  I think that it is interesting, because the information you need is here. I don't think that Google or Wikipedia will help.

What do these four airplanes have in common?

1. Curtiss P-40 Warhawk

2. Douglas DC-3

3. Fairchild A-10 Thunderbolt II AKA Warthog

  

4. Boeing 737

 
Hints:  Here are some things the planes don't have in common:

• Military or civilian - there are 2 of each
• Engine count: 1 has a single engine, while the other 3 are twins
• Engine type: 2 are piston-driven, 2 are jets
• Nose wheel: two are "tail-draggers" while two have "tricycle" gear
• Tail type: 1 has twin rudders, the others have single rudders
• Manufacturer: all four are different
• Vintage: 2 are from the 30s, 1 from the 60s, 1 from the 70s

Big Hint: When you look at the pictures, look down.
