This makes it even better.

I may have heard it was based off the movie but never saw it.


Even kept Ted's name.

Yeah, we all thought it was a mashup spoof of disaster films instead of a very close remake of 1 film even copying word for word the serious or set-up dialogue to the gags.

Also a spoof of John Wayne’s “The High and the Mighty”

If you watch Zero Hour some of the dialogue is almost word for word. When the kid Joey goes to the cockpit and they give him a toy plane I was expecting the pilot to ask if he’s “ever seen a grown man naked” or if “likes movies about gladiators”

I’ll have to watch that. Love Airplane!

The intense guy on the hand held mic looks like the same actor as McClusky from the Godfather.

If you haven't watched his interviews with Tom Snyder, you're missing out on his wonderfully insane later years. He walked out of a high paying gig on a film to go to Yugoslavian dictator Tito's funeral as a correspondent for Rolling Stone, never finished the article, and never got paid. They sent him because Hayden spent WWII running a fishing boat near Yugoslavia picking up downed Allied pilots and gathering info for Tito.
