** Also done with the beginning scene (see HowWeGotHere above), where we see Col. Cathcart and Col. Korn offering a deal to Yossarian. Near the end, the scene is expanded, so that we've seen what led them to offer that deal to Yossarian (and we can hear the dialogue over the noise of the planes). We also can tell who exactly stabs Yossarian InTheBack at the end of the scene - [[spoiler: Nately's whore]].

* JustPlaneWrong: Averted. The aircraft used were genuine WWII era B-25 Mitchells, and the filming saved them from scrapping. Most of them are still either flying as warbirds, or are in various aviation museums.
