Miami Vice Features AdamSep '06
The stars of “Miami Vice,” Academy Award-winner Jamie Foxx and Irish actor Colin Farrell, both took turns flying in the A500 during the movie’s production.
The eminent Colorado-based aircraft manufacturer Adam Aircraft might not be turning to vice just yet, but "Vice" is certainly turning to Adam Aircraft. The company's A500 twin-engine piston airplane is prominently featured in "Miami Vice," the new film by award-winning director Michael Mann.

During World War II, an elite group of young, daring female pilots became pioneers and heroes. They served diligently and proudly, ferrying and testing aircraft, towing targets and training men to fly. They sacrificed much. They were the Women Airforce Service Pilots, the first women trained to fly U.S. military aircraft. When the war was over, the government disbanded them and sent them home. In the late 1970s, the women finally received veteran status for their service.
