Aviation Photo #0956485: Tupolev Tu-104A - Alitalia (CSA - Ceskoslovenske Aerolinie)

This plane had the left side painted in full Alitalia colours for a movie, with false registration I-DIWN applied. It is in fact OK-NDF. - Photo taken at Prague - Vaclav Havel (Ruzyne) (PRG / LKPR) in Czech Republic on November 30, 1975.

Unluckily this was not in Alitalia’s fleet…. Should be one of the most beautiful Alitalia’s plane.

Can I guess in with film was used this plane? I’m so curious

Thank you so much for the info and sorry for the OT

Great photos.

I discussed the history of these Czech 104s at the site in 2022 and discussed the film that the Alitalia aircraft appeared in:

Czech Camels: CSA (and Alitalia) Tu-104s

The Tupolev Tu-104 was an impressive achievement that made the West stand up and take notice of Soviet engineering capability, even if it wasn't quite the dream jet the Soviets made it out to be. Indeed, the type was a serious challenge and that is perhap

Notice it says "DC-8-62" next to the registration on the Alitalia side. What movie maker would have ever thought to have a Tu-104 stand-in for a DC-8??? They should have done some homework first.

Haha! I'm sure the entire aircraft was never filmed - just rear sections of it externally - and internally. Thus working as a stand-in for a real DC-8

I recently watched MI:8 and when I mentioned that the heliopters had the completely wrong sounds dubbed over my wife just said: who the f* cares?!?
Guess that explains why using a 104 for a DC-8 is no problem.
Concerning MI:8, I'm still puzzled how a BT-67 can make East Coast to Alaska and on to Congo in less than 48 hours, unseen by the worlds biggest naval fleets and anyone else. Blockbuster movies drive me nuts

Nice pics of a nice model!

Off topic - but should I watch it in a theatre?
I did watch Dead Reckoning last year - fabulous on IMAX. But recent tentpoles have me wondering

The amount of WTF moments on that film is way too big... lol

This was during the Cold War in the 1970s. Options were limited!

I always think I'm a perfectionist nitpicker and then you come in and upstage me everytime Alex! BRAVO!!! This is perhaps the ultimate.
