Plane identification [closed]

Esperanza takes control of the aircraft bringing him in the US, and then manages to land it. I cannot identify this plane. Does anybody know what kind of plane it is ?

Best Answer

The plane is a non-operational mockup using the fuselage of a C-123 with significant visual modifications. The modifications are such that the plane on screen does not really look like any production aircraft, which is probably why you couldn't identify it. A real C-123 has two prop engines, not four jet engines. Basically it was a giant prop for the movie, a prop plane mocked up to look like a military transport jet. When you see the aircraft actually fly, you're looking at a model and CGI.
