  • Old 666 merupakan pesawat pengebom Boeing B-17E dengan kode registrasi 41-2666 milik Grup Pengebom Pasifik ke-43 yang berlaga saat Perang Dunia II. Pesawat pengebom ini memiliki kisah yang tak biasa dengan kebanyakan bomber yang lain karena berulang kali sering tertembak dan mengalami kerusakan bahkan sampai merenggut nyawa para krunya saat melakukan misi-misi, sehingga banyak kru dan mekanik menyebut pesawat ini sangat terkutuk. Karena reputasinya, pesawat pengebom ini dibiarkan rusak di area lapangan terbang Port Moresby bahkan sempat akan dibongkar. Seorang fotografer dan Jay Zeamer pun melihat pesawat pengebom tersebut masih layak terbang dengan perlu sedikit penggantian bekas-bekas lubang akibat tembakan pesawat tempur Jepang, proposal restorasi pun dibuat dan pesawat itu diderek menu (in)
