Forza Horizon 4: Delta Wing Aircraft[edit]

In 2018’s Forza Horizon 4, the race titled “The Delta-Wing showcase” pits an Aston Martin Vulcan against an unnamed Delta wing Jet, which was originally planned to be an Avro Vulcan before the name was changed due to licensing. Does this count as a “significant role” or just an appearance of the Vulcan? VeronViper (talk) 01:11, 15 July 2023 (UTC)Reply[reply]

Whatever that aircraft is with twin tails and canards, it is not a Vulcan and so not a "real world aircraft used in a work of fiction", so it is out of scope for this article. It might fit in List of fictional aircraft. - Ahunt (talk) 15:15, 15 July 2023 (UTC)Reply[reply]

P-40 in cinema[edit]

Were not P-40s featured in "Tora!"x3? And "Pearl Harbor"? 2601:249:447E:8420:E5B1:A50F:517B:6C2C (talk) 12:57, 13 August 2023 (UTC)Reply[reply]

We would need third party refs to add that. I seem to recall they appeared but did not have a central role on the film, which is our inclusion criteria for this article. - Ahunt (talk) 13:09, 13 August 2023 (UTC)Reply[reply]

Should there be a system for what gets a picture and what does not?[edit]

Some of the aircraft do not have pictures, while others have 1 or 2. Should there be a system for adding pictures? CloneCommanderFordo (talk) 14:22, 25 October 2023 (UTC)Reply[reply]

Not specifically and this article should not have numerous images that are not adjacent to relevant text. Generally there should be only 1 image if the aircraft has 1 paragraph because adding more images would push images into the other sections, away from relevant text. -Fnlayson (talk) 14:34, 25 October 2023 (UTC)Reply[reply]
I added ten more, but only to paragraphs long enough to contain them. I didn't finish. It's an endless task going through Wikimedia Commons to find a good image. I tried to add good images that aren't already included in the main article on each aircraft. ~Anachronist (talk) 21:57, 25 October 2023 (UTC)Reply[reply]

A-4 Skyhawk[edit]

Is the section for the A-4 missing? The A-4 page redirects here, but there is no info on the plane. It had fairly major role in TopGun. 2001:56A:DFF5:927E:19C0:DF14:5319:8E34 (talk) 19:44, 29 October 2023 (UTC)Reply[reply]

Feel free to add it if you can find a reliable source discussing the aircraft's role in the film. We do need a source that talks about it, not simply an appearance in a film. The movie Top Gun isn't mentioned at all in the article about the Douglas A-4 Skyhawk, and the article Top Gun mentions it without citing a source. ~Anachronist (talk) 19:52, 29 October 2023 (UTC)Reply[reply]

The PBY in Steelyard Blues[edit]

This aircraft is surely a prominent enough character in this film to be worth mention. 99.124.159.40 (talk) 06:41, 25 November 2023 (UTC)Reply[reply]

B2 Spirit[edit]

The B2 Spirit features in the 1996 John Woo film Broken Arrow. Whilst flying an exercise mission with two live warheads, the pilot intends to steal the weapons and crash the aircraft blaming the other pilot for the loss.

No, Broken Arrow has a fictional aircraft the B3 bomber. Loosely based but it's not the B2. Canterbury Tail talk 14:31, 30 November 2023 (UTC)Reply[reply]

Mil Mi-24[edit]

The Mil Mi-24 made his first two movie appearances in Rambo:First Blood Part II (1985) and Rambo III (1988). They are both piloted by the main antagonist of each movie, Lieutenant Colonel Sergei T. Podovsky in Rambo II and Soviet Colonel Alexei Zaysen in Rambo III. In both movies, the Mil Mi-24 has a major part in the decisive battles between John Rambo and both colonels in the end of the movies 81.207.73.38 (talk) 16:22, 23 December 2023 (UTC)Reply[reply]

The Rambo films and Red Dawn used Aérospatiale SA 330 Pumas modified to look like the Mi-24 in 1980s. Refer to the Aérospatiale Puma section in the main article. -Fnlayson (talk) 05:41, 24 December 2023 (UTC)Reply[reply]
