airplaneThe AV Club has put together an oral history of the 1980 break out hit Airplane! and not a moment too soon. They broke out the big guns too, talking with the Zuckers, Jim Abrahams, and cast members Robert Hays, Frank Ashmore, Al White, Lee Bryant, Ross Harris, Jill Whelan, Maureen McGovern, David Leisure, Gregory Itzin, Marcy Goldman, and Jimmie Walker.  If you’re a big fan of the series, you’ll want to give it a read.
