Hi guys, normally I'm more of a lurker around here, but I saw this and just had to post...

I'm a Bond fan as well as a huge Dolphins fan, and while looking at some photos from the set of CR, I came across these...

Now when I saw the first and second picture, I thought to myself... something here looks VERY familiar. Then when I saw the third picture it was unmistakeable. The paint job is exactly like the jet that the Miami Dolphin's fly around in... However I've only seen the jet before, I've never seen any other models of planes with the Dolphins logo / colors before, and this is clearly a smaller plane that Bond is using. For comparison, here's a picture of the Miami Dolphins jet that they fly the team around in:

So does anyone know what's going on here? Take a look at the numbers along the side, specifically the WH initials... it's definetly a Dolphin's plane! Is the Dolphin's owner Wayne Hizuenga secretly a big Bond fan? :tup: Will the Dolphins plane be in the next Bond movie? :D

You can actually make out on the smaller planes tail where the logo has been removed.

How odd- you're quite right. As the logo has been removed it looks like the Bond people are just borrowing it rather it being a plot point (although I believe the action does involve Miami at one point). I wonder why a football team has a seaplane?

I believe he mentioned it was the owner's private jet.

Or maybe he has to win back all the money he lost through gambling on sports, and Bond pretends to be a VIP within the Dolphins' office to go to a game and do some reconnaisance on Le Chiffre, like the horse race scene in AVTAK. :tup:

Here is what the original poster said:

Is the Dolphin's owner Wayne Hizuenga secretly a big Bond fan?


That's idle speculation, but nevertheless he did say it eh :tup:
