Jet

True Lies, Avengers, Pepsi, where's my jet?

Imagine walking through the doors of the Volo Museum and being greeted by an impressive sight - a full scale fiberglass replica of a Harrier Jump Jet that once soared through the skies in some of Hollywood's most thrilling action scenes. This jet has a fascinating history, having been originally built for the blockbuster movie True Lies starring Arnold Schwarzenegger.

In the final scene of the movie, Arnold's character takes to the skies in this very jet, engaging in a heart-pumping aerial battle with the villains atop a Miami high-rise. The adrenaline-fueled excitement of that scene is palpable, and now you have the chance to experience it up close and personal.

The jet's Hollywood career didn't end there - it also made an appearance in a Pepsi commercial in 1996, which sparked the creation of the documentary series "Pepsi Where's My Jet". After its stint in the commercial, the jet was left to gather dust in the desert, waiting for its next opportunity to shine.

And shine it did - in 2019, the jet was pulled from its desert resting place and given a stunning makeover for its appearance in the movie Avengers. You may remember the scene where the Hulk was thrown into the jet by Thor, causing the wing to rip off in a dramatic display of special effects.

Now, after two years of painstaking restoration work, the jet has been brought back to life at the Volo Museum. One side of the jet pays tribute to its role in True Lies, while the other showcases its appearance in Avengers. The attention to detail in the restoration work is incredible - you can see the battle scars and damage from the Hulk's impact, and the colors of the paint job make the jet stand out in all its glory.

So come on down to the Volo Museum and witness the thrill and excitement of this legendary Harrier Jump Jet for yourself. It's a truly unforgettable experience that will leave you in awe of the power and beauty of this incredible piece of movie history.
