BTS: YellowJackets Plane Set

We’d like to share some behind-the-scenes photos of some of the incredible shows our plane sets have gotten to work on here at Aero Mock-Ups.

In December 2019, a pilot was shot for what would become Showtime’s hit show, Yellowjackets. We were contacted to supply the airplane set, and jumped at the chance.

We packed up our Narrowbody Rolling set and shipped it less than a mile to a warehouse in North Hollywood. While there, their incredible crew built our set out on a gimbal that was about 30 feet in the air!

Little did we know that the show would be such a hit, or even win star Melanie Lynskey a Critics Choice Award.

Take a look below at some of the work that went on before filming started.

2021 Recap

While we are well into 2022 at this point, we wanted to bring some attention to the wonderful 2021 projects that our airplane sets were a part of. Due to the pandemic, filming was not easy, but the incredible talents in front of and behind the camera succeeded well beyond expectations.
