Do you know those lines actually existed in a REAL movie??

It wasn’t just a spoof on airplane disaster movies.

They bought the rights to that movie script so they could use whatever they wanted line for line.

Zero Hour! it was called.

I dont know how the actors kept straight faces in the original :)

It’s Istanbul, not Constantinople, and it’s no one’s business but the Turks 😀

What’s a hospital, Shirley?

It's a big building full of doctors and patients, but that's not important now, and stop calling me Shirley!

Not unlike Mark Twain who was in the middle of a question when he simply stopped between words and was gone.

Poor guy, now he'll never know the answer....

That’s the way I want to go. Not screaming in abject fear like the passengers in my car.

We train for the dead pilot scenario twice a year.

Do you drill to continue to the original destination, or drop the late pilot off at a closer airport to find his or her own way home?

“Poor guy, now he’ll never know the answer..”

Or when we get to Heaven he’ll say, “As I was saying... “

I thought it was Gilligan, AKA Bob Denver, AKA Maynard G Krebs.

IIRC, and I well may not, Dr. Bombay was the local unlicensed pharmaceutical distributor. I don’t think I’ve seen Dobie Gillis in 50 or 60 years, so I could easily be wrong...

A second chance for any mules on board to avoid an encounter with Turkish customs agents.
