I am looking for information on a B-25J used in the movie "Catch-22." I am trying to figure out which airplane was known as "the DENVER DUMPER." I believe it was 44-30077, N2849G but cannot confirm. Any information from anyone who may know...please contact me at Mustang5YQ@AOL.COM

I worked at Newport Air Associates at Orange County Airport from '76 to '79. They were located next to, and were part of, the Tallmantz Aviation and Movieland of the Air complex. I worked with the A&P mechanics and did all kinds of duties in exchange for flying time; it was a Summer job for a couple of years. I distinctly remember Frank Pine and Frank Tallman walking around and always being nice. Pine seemed to always have a cigar in his mouth.

I remember the back storage rooms and closets, hidden from public view. Because I worked there I would go in there and touch all those old aircraft parts, movie sets (including the F4U Corsair "cockpit" used in filming the Baa Baa Black Sheep TV series) and crates. It was like being back in time. What a wonderful time and place...and the smell of those old airplanes and their parts! It was a heady, wonderful, old smell. The ghosts of so many flights. Those storage rooms were like a gold mine.

I also remember the day Frank Tallman was killed. As a pilot, I pass that peak many times and think of him.

In working for Tallmantz as a fuel truck driver/aircraft fueler in 1978-79 I was very familiar with Don Pine. He was a brother of Walt and Frank Pine and a retired California Highway Patrol motor officer. He came to work for the company shortly after I did in the fuel department and was a pleasant man to work with and had a wonderful demeanor.
I have lost track of Boots, Marty and Mickie Marchak through the years and fear they may have passed, but I'll always cherish the memories of working at that famous operation at Orange County Airport.

Hi Scott, thanks for the great info! The father of a friend of mine worked on the Phoenix; does anyone remember a Jerry Morrison on the project? Also, re the Continental Airlines DC-7 N8210H, was this in the the museum to honor movie pilot Archie Twitchell who was killed in the crash of the original N8210H in 1957, or just a coincidence?
