RavenFE Posted January 21, 2015 Share Posted January 21, 2015 OK which 'A' model has a cameo scene in this movie? Great movie! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tinyclark Posted January 21, 2015 Share Posted January 21, 2015 Can't wait to see it. Don't know about the A-model. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fritz Wester Posted January 24, 2015 Share Posted January 24, 2015 Well, that was us too. 57-0466, again. The scenes were shot at San Bernardino, old Norton AFB on the far east end of the ramp for the scene where Chris Kyle talks to his brother and the troops are getting on the plane. I got to meet Clint Eastwood and it was great working with him, what neat guy and a great sense of humor, very soft spoken. Wish we could flown for some scenes but alas it wasn't in the budget. He spent several hours on board the aircraft filming two interior scenes, one with the flag draped caskets, the other scene was apparently left on the cutting room floor.

DC10FE Posted January 24, 2015 Share Posted January 24, 2015 Fritz, just out of curiousity, are you referring to the far east end of the main ramp or the east end of the ramp by the end of runway 24? The reason I ask is because the east ramp by rwy 24 is where the Heavy Chain C-130's were parked when I was stationed there in 1971. Don R.

Fritz Wester Posted January 24, 2015 Share Posted January 24, 2015 Don, the heavy Chain ramp. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RavenFE Posted January 25, 2015 Author Share Posted January 25, 2015 Fritz, Thanks for the info. Thought it might be one of your company's birds. Sounds like an interesting shoot. Last time I was into Norton was circa 1980. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DC10FE Posted January 25, 2015 Share Posted January 25, 2015 (edited) Thanks Fritz. I was in Transient Alert when I was there. Had my paperwork in to go to the 1198th when I got orders for Korat RTAFB, Thailand. The 1198th was no more by the time I got back. Did you happen to make it to the Jet Bar by the main gate? A real dump. Don R. Edited January 25, 2015 by DC10FE Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fritz Wester Posted January 25, 2015 Share Posted January 25, 2015 Nope, didn't make it. Not sure if it's still there. What I did notice since been quite a few years since I had a reason to be at Norton, the entire area outside the main gate was pretty run down and need of attention by the City of San Berno.
