Notes
- Eagle models of 44", 22", 11", and 5.5" were used
in filming the special effects sequences of the series.
- In an episode of Futurama,
an obvious take-off of an Eagle appears.
It shoots the last copies of Star Trek
(The Original Series) episodes onto a planet,
as a way of eliminating the series from
human culture.
