Why are seats A and B on the starboard side of the airplane? :dubious:
I’ll never get over Macho Grande
If they had to request permission to go to 10,000 feet, what the hell altitude were they at before?
Good thing the doc had his black bag under the seat in front of him, eh?
Great idea, give morphine to the pilot!
Janet, mmmmmmmmmmmmmmm! :o
Me neither.
Why are the instruments ticking all over the place if there’s nothing wrong with the airplane?
Love the way they confuse Spitfires, P-36es, Bf-109s, Bf-108s…
Sterling Hayden, who played Trelaven, was still acting when Airplane! was made. I wonder if Zucker Abrahams Zucker tried to get him to play Rex Kramer before they got Robert Stack.
That’s exactly what they’d be expecting them to do!
I think Sterling Hayden and Robert Stack were separated at birth.
Whoops! Four o’clock. Time for Jeopardy!
That’s a different meme.
Why was there no fire when the plane crash-landed?
Because the fuel tanks didn’t get ruptured.
Whether or not that would happen in real life depends. But it isn’t a given.
Landing gear doesn’t snap off like the plane is a giant plastic model, either. It’s pretty tough.
Well, I guess we all learned never eat Canadian halibut without knowing whom prepared it!
Because the little plastic model they used would have melted.
Really, lots of planes crash and don’t burst into flames. Here’s one fromjust this week. Here’s an even more striking example from January, where an engine got torn off. Still no fire.
Neither of those was a DC-4 hitting the ground hard.
I don’t see what the big deal was. There have been GSL (Glide Slope Landing) systems in service that allow you to land in fog since at least the Berlin Airlift (1946). Was Canada really so far behind the times they didn’t have one in Calgary or Edmonton in 1957?
Who, not whom.
And any halibut, for that matter! Yeccch!
Hey, I watch Mayday! Fuel tanks almost always rupture.
Can you face some unpleasant facts?
No.
