- Lot Description
The original BD-5J jet aircraft used in the classic James Bond thriller Octopussy (UA, 1983). This jet was prominently featured in the opening scene of the film, which depicts Roger Moore, as agent 007, using the jet to escape his Cuban captors, who in retaliation attempt to shoot him down with a heat-seeking missile. Bond cheats death by flying through the narrow opening of an airplane hangar, which dramatically explodes behind him when the missile detonates.
The BD-5J (N70CF) was constructed by stunt pilot J.W. “Corkey” Fornof and began life as part of a three-man aerobatic demonstration team. In 1976, in honor of the nation’s bicentennial, the BD-5J was decorated with patriotic red and blue stripes over a white background. The Sonic Acrojets, as the team was known from 1978 on, was the world’s first civilian jet aerobatic team and took part in every major air show held in the United States, Canada, and Mexico. The BD-5J (N70CF) was featured in television commercials for Asahi Beer and Toshiba Electronics but it achieved the pinnacle of stardom in 1983 after being masterfully piloted by Fornof during the opening scene of the classic spy thriller “Octopussy.” The micro-jet has the added distinction of being listed in “The Guinness Book of World Records” as the lightest single-engine jet in the world.
The BD-5J has a 17-foot wingspan (wings detach for transport), and measures 12 feet from front to back, and is capable of achieving speed of 300 miles per hour. NOTE: This lot does not include engine.
Wingspan, 17 feet; Length, 12 feet; Height, 6 feet; Weight, 430 pounds
