No idea.... didn't even know they did LAS-BLI on a regular basis.... thought AAY was the only one... AAY likes competition.

BLI airport closed the runway because someone geared up there (only 1 runway). Allegiant diverted to SEA too. Not sure why the delay in holding, maybe they were hoping it would open.

Shove that crap off the runway and into the grass. FOD check, and back in business.

Cockpit qualified young man: Mr. Patroni? Don't you hear him? Shut down.
Joe Patroni: I can't hear a thing. There's too much noise. Hold on. We're GOIN FOR BROKE!

Man in bar hitting up a young hottie: "Yeah, I also starred in the movie, "Airport." Maybe you saw me in it, at the controls of an airliner?"
Hottie: "Yes, I did!!!!! OMG OMG OMG OMG! What character did you play?"
Man: "Cockpit-qualified young man."

Joe Patroni: That's what I like about the 707, it can do everything but read.

Proud owner of Airport and the other 3 movies that followed.

Who would be the B-list actors if they'd make an Airport '14?

Everyone in Sharknado 2: The Second One. I highly recommend watching the opening scene.

EDIT: You know what, let me just put that here so you don't have to look for it.
