I came across this and found it interesting that the creators of Airplane! acquired the rights for 2500.00 to a 1950's movie "Zero Hour" and created this amazing comedy from such a serious film.
Here's a video that shows how scenes from that movie were satirize. You can get the entire film on YouTube FWIW:

If you watch "Here Comes Mr. Jordan" (based on the play "Heaven Can Wait" which was remade with Warren Beatty), you'll see the main character "flying on instruments", and then Lloyd Bridges shows up as a heavenly co-pilot.
Just some coincidences. Airplane was based on Zero Hour.

He looks like Glen Powell there.
