Notes

License to Kill

On their way to Felix Leiter's (David Hedison) wedding, James Bond (Timothy Dalton) and Felix had to make a detour making a mid air arrest of Franz Sanchez (Robert Davi) trying to flea in a Cessna 172P. From the Dauphin Coast Guard helicopter shadowing the Cessna, 007 is lowered down midair to the Cessna, attaching a wire to the tail.

The registration number N54743 is fake. No plane had that registration at the time of filming - some sources says the number was changed from N54748. One of the four planes used for the filming was advertising for a skydiving company in Sugarloaf Airport, Sugarloaf Key, Florida. The plane is the one actually lifted and towed by the Coast Guard helicopter. It has a smaller engine just making the propellor spinning during the filming. After been discovered in Sugarloaf Key it has now been aquired by The Ian Fleming Foundation and restored.
