He was on a flight I was on last December, sitting one row up and across the aisle, back in steerage with the rest of us proles. Didn’t realize it was him until we were deplaning.
Yes, he had the window seat!
Did he “flip out” at all during the flight? Even a little? :)
He has a pretty good sense of humor. I’d bet he has on some flights joked about that scene or acted it out in a light-hearted sort of way.
When I was about 18, me and my friends were on the Long Island Railroad here in New York, and as we pulled into a station I did the “Willoughby, Willoughby, next stop is Willoughby” thing. Only one passenger that I noticed apparently was familiar with the old TZ episode and smiled. This was back in the late 70s.
