This musical moment is not the first on my list to involve a mid-air acoustic guitar/vocal performance during a commercial airline flight (see Musical Moment #5). Airplane is a 1980 satirical film which parodies the 70's disaster movie, Airport, and includes an over-abundance of poor puns and excessive plays on words. At face value, a movie like Airplane would have run its course and long been forgotten by now. Instead, thanks to casting surprises like veteran actors Lloyd Bridges, Peter Graves, the genius of the late great Leslie Nielsen, and scenes such as this musical moment, Airplane has endured to be cherished by new generations, and to this day serves as the standard for all modern comedic parodies.
