[QUOTE="TJP, post: 306145, member: 5151"] # 2.18 "The High and the Mighty": The establishing shot of the pier in Truro shows the Seal Beach Municipal Pier in Seal Beach, CA from Ocean Avenue: [ATTACH type="full"]33044[/ATTACH] I have no idea about the establishing shots of what is supposed to be Nassau / Bahamas. They are definitely stock footage, but I'm not even sure they really feature anything from Nassau at all — at least nothing touristy recognizable. Julia's home in Nassau is is actually the Adamson House (nowadays a museum) at 23200 Pacific Coast Highway, Malibu, CA. Just as a side not: It was later used as Abby's beach house on "Knots Landing". While "Knots" created interior sets for it at MGM / Lorimar Studios in Culver City, this episode of "Flamingo Road" used both the real exteriors and interiors of the Adamson House: [ATTACH type="full"]33045[/ATTACH] [ATTACH type="full"]33046[/ATTACH] I'm not sure about the airport scenes. Strong candidates are the old San Fernando Airport (which no longer exists) and Whiteman Airport, but the scenes are filmed so closely that I can't tell. Some of the shots of the plane in the air were apparently specifically filmed for this episode of "Flamingo Road", which seems like an incredible waste of budget. No idea why they did this, but you can clearly see that it's the same model (a 1979 Piper PA-28-161) with the same registration (N2934C) like the one on the ground Field and Sam boarded. The intercuts with views from the cockpit, however, are apparently stock footage from elsewhere. I'm still looking for the crash site, but it's very difficult. However, it's definitely not on the studio backlot. There's more open land around it, and the vegetation is clearly different from what usually grew on the TBS (WB) backlot. The size of the trees is also too big for mobile prop trees and bushes. I'll keep searching. What is on the studio backlot, in contrast, is Ranger Station 16 from where the search for Sam and Field is coordinated. It's the old FBI Cabin at the lagoon in the jungle area at The Burbank Studios (Warner Bros. Studios), redressed again: [ATTACH type="full"]33047[/ATTACH] [/QUOTE]
