The Catch-22s budget could only accommodate 17 flyable B-25 Mitchells, and an additional non-flyable hulk was acquired in Mexico, made barely ferry-able and flown with landing gear down to the Guaymas, Sonora, Mexico filming location, only to be burned and destroyed in the landing crash scene.
The Mitchells are happy until December 2007, when their landlady, Manju Patel (Leena Dhingra), threatens to evict them.
Mitchells Island is the largest of several islands in the mouth of the Manning River.
