This is just before Loomis gets the girl in the B-17 and drops the bomb on the apron. Sitting there, pretty as a picture in the background across the field, is a white lease Boeing 727 (top secret war project, probably!)[(-D] On the other end of the spectrum "The Newton Boys" got it almost right, using relettered T&NO 786 and a repainted RPO for the train robbery scene. At least they were the right era, and they stuck up the right car.
