Cargo Plane
(The Living Daylights)
Vehicle: Cargo Plane
Movie: The Living Daylights
Owner: General Georgi Koskov
Status: Destroyed
A huge military transport aircraft for carrying troops, weaponry
and supplies, or in Koskov's case, raw opium.
Use
Koskov used the cargo plane after he had bought tons of raw
opium, whilst Kamran Shah's men loaded the bags of opium, Bond
dressed in sheets and a turban, carried a bag in with a plastic
explosive time bomb. Bond was trapped in the cargo hold after
being spotted, he threw the pilots out and attempted to take
off Kara Milovy followed in a jeep pulling up next to the cockpit
telling Bond to open the cargo door. Kara drove the jeep up the
ramp into the cargo hold, unfortunately Necros managed to get
in, Bond leaving the plane's controls in Kara's non-flight trained
hands. Bond and Necros got involved in a violent brawl, falling
out of the cargo bay door, clinging to the cargo nets (holding
the opium) for dear life, finally Bond kicked Necros off the
net, climbed into the cargo bay, let the opium go and disarmed
the Bomb. Once and for all the plane, loosing fuel fast, Bond
and Kara jumped into the jeep and released the cargo parachute,
floating to earth safely while the plane exploded into the side
of a mountain.
Specs
A four turbo-prop engine cargo plane, with room for anything
up to a truck of tons of boxes or supplies. In the back of the
plane, a large steel surface was attached to a parachute, at
the flick of a switch the surface would roll out of the back
of the plane and parachute's would open.
