WhiteWolf McBride ◊ 2012-01-06 09:16	I have to agree, but could be a Thiokol before the later DMC & LMC rebadging. For reference, I checked, and the 1200 model (Spryte's designation) was made from the late 60's through the 80's with few changes, though I seem to note the Later LMC-badged ones have paired square lamps, Thiokols have paired round ones. Could be post'82, but I'd say its vintage. The black frame on the nose would be a snow-blade mount, no issues there. I'll re-watch to look for other indicators, but I'd say either way, referring to 'em in the movie as a 'Spryte' is accurate, as they retained the model names thru the owner changes. Will add notes if I spot anything later. They did a good job matching the JetRanger, eh?
