I was watching the cable channel show about Steve Fossett's loss and they detailed the use of an ANG aircraft with special sensors that took part in the search. The aircraft shown on the show was a C-123! I thought they were all long gone? Or is this another case of lazy editing by the production staff? They consistently showed a blue/white Aviat Husky when discussing the blue/white Decathlon Fossett was flying.

I was watching a show on the Weather Channel the other night about the bombing of Nagasaki. All their "reenactment" shots of the mission showed actors in a B-17 (intercut with period footage of B-29s.) :roll:
