I like cargo planes.

The big ones are C123`s, it was just on the tv.

Some others were:
C-47 Skytrain (aka Douglas DC-3)
looks like either a AU-23 Peacemaker or a Pilatus Porter PC-6 (Long nose, whit and blue)
Bell UH-1 series (aka Huey)

That's not bad, but you gotta put some sass on it.

I don't give a McDamn who you are!

That is not a Pilatus Porter PC-6 but a similar-looking airplane called a Helio Courier.

Those were most defiantly flying Pilatus Porter PC-6s in the movie. I don't know what plane you saw.

Pay strict attention to what I say; I choose my words carefully and I never repeat myself.

Def porters. Badass aircraft
