"Watching Die Hard 2 (1990) there are a number of scenes involving a plane flying into clouded darkness. I researched how that scene was done - a large model in a studio, and smoke machines. The real plane used was a Lockheed L-1011. Now decommissioned, it is used in film and TV as the plane to crash. The same was used in the TV series Lost. This plane felt like a 'death machine'.
I purchased a model from eBay, and shot it as a simple, silvery ghost that bursts through a field of dry-ice clouds, just as the model did in Die Hard 2, towards darkness." (The Artist)
