Stallone Is Crushed As The Expendables Bomber Is Destroyed
Sylvester Stallone's dream of flying in the vintage bomber featured in his new blockbuster THE EXPENDABLES for the film's Los Angeles premiere was dashed when he learned the aircraft had been crushed.
The actor/director was hoping to use the old plane as a prop on the red carpet and he was devastated when he realised the craft had been turned into a heap of rusting metal.
Co-star Jason Statham wasn't surprised - because the 60-year-old plane shouldn't really have been in the sky for the film.
He explains, "We found out the plane was barely airworthy... It hadn't been serviced in 30 years.
"Sly wanted to bring it in for the premiere and we found out it had been crushed into a cube... never to be flown again."
