Hi all,
Last night saw the third movie of "the mummie". They had 2 CGI aircraft in the movie...a Beaufighter and what looked like a P-40E in winter Russian markings.
Anyway the Beaufighter(with RAAF markings) pilot was a friend of Rick O Connolds and naturally Rick ask for his help. There was no story line of the P-40 though. Near the end of the film showed Ricks friend coming to the rescue in his Beaufighter and a P-40 tagging along with him. They hardly showed any action from the P-40..two strafing passes on a bunch of zombies before the evil emporer turned into a monster and grabbed the P-40 out of the sky! Also wondered how they ended up have 6 people and one yak fit inside the beaufighter!! 
It was an ok movie...not much airplanes in it just a few times in the film.
