@@MudflyWatersman just to name a few more, Charles Durning battle of the bulge, Charles Bronson Bomber gunner, Jimmy Stewart pilot, Foster brooks the Navigator on Stewart's plane, Rod Serling, The list is pretty long.
Bob Hope was at the controls of a Catalina in 1944 when it had to crashland and pilot took over to put it down near the mouth of the Camden Haven river near Laurieton in east coast Australia, 80 years ago.

We called those Central American airlines “chicken planes” they kind of resemble those chicken buses in town. Lost an engine just before takeoff from an island near Columbia. It must of been the nuns on the plane that saved our lives.
@@renegadetenor SAHSA airlines, you use to be able to see one of their crashed planes at the end of the runway drop off at the Tegucigalpa airport. The people turned it into a restaurant.
This is like what a local radio guy did, he'd advertise "Fundermotz Airlines". The plane had a screen door and would "fly" from Bunn to Dunn and never leave the ground. (RIP Pat Patterson and WKIX).
I flew for A chintzy airline. A contractor for United. Terminal computers didn't work, phones at gates didn't work, printers without paper, no reserve crews when weather SNAFU'd the system. As a pilot, I had to find a working computer and printer paper so I could get the required paperwork. It delayed the flight 45mins after a 3 hr weather delay, and a 2 hr delay waiting for a first officer. One time, I got a print out where the numbers for the fuel load were too faded to read. Is that a 6 or 8? No one around to ask, so had to call company. 30 minute delay for that. Passengers had to wait outside on frozen apron, standing in various fluids, waiting for bags in rough Chicago winter weather. Glen Tilton, WORST ceo ever.
My Aunt was in Bob Hope's show and was offered to go to Vietnam with him, but she turned him down. She was too busy dating NFL and NBL players. In 1976, while visiting her, this guy named Arnie stopped by to take her out. I think he was a football player. I have her show picture with her stagename.
This is when Hollywood still had talent and people had a sense of humor. Now, HollyWOKE has no talent whatsoever and snow flakes get offended by someone breathing! America has gone all the way to Hell in comparison to back then.
I’ll do almost anything to watch Lee Marvin. Even sit through another lame routine by Bob Hope. By this time he hadn’t been funny for 30 years. A Spiro Agnew joke, FFS?

I really love and respect Bob Hope!!! He supported troops for more than 50 years! Very nice man!!! And I've always been a big fan of Lee Marvin!

Not often one sees Lee Marvin in Comedy.
Fantastic Actor.
Bob Hope was a Comedic Genius.
Try seeing him in a _musical!_ With Clint Eastwood! _(Paint Your Wagon)_
He won an Oscar in a comedy, Cat Ballou. Duh. He's been in a few comedies.
@@JV-pu8kx He was great in Paint Your wagon. He sang too.
Better yet,,, ever heard him sing? (Paint Your Wagon (you getta hear Clint Eastwood sing, too))
Bob hope bought corriganville, we walked there while the parents were at the moose lodge when it was on the pass road. Hope town.
Ol' Lee did a darn good job with this one!
Lee Marvin in a comedy wonderful!
If you like Marvin comedy, you HAVE to see Paint Your Wagon..Eastwood in it too
Cat Ballou best Marvin ever.
@@donnarouse9432 also in a musical, In paint your wagon with Clint Eastwood 😂 Funny those two In a musical! Imagine if they had to do dance routines like gene Kelly😂😂
Two of the greatest of all time they don’t make them like this anymore.
for a moment I thought this was a new commercial for Boeing 😅
Naw, too high class for Boeing.
🤣🤣🤣🤣
i guess no reinforced cockpit doors
The Hijacker is the CEO ...
@@henriyoung3895 Lee Marvin was the CEO. The hijacker was a whistle-blower.
so cool seeing sid haig, wasn't expecting that at all
Lee Marvin as a comedian? Love it!
Lee Marvin foils Sid Haig skyjacking, classic. Thanks for the channel!
That's not Sid Haig. That's Gregory Sierra of Barney Miller fame.
This is pretty funny, and timely!
No doubt the inspiration for Airplane.
“Don’t call me Shirley “
I think I flew this airline recently!
ALL of the American Airlines are now like that!
United...
I flew on TACA airlines to Belize in 1985 with a church group. We figured out what TACA stood for....take a chance airlines!

I f,ew TACA once, too. It means, Take A Coffin Along.
My sister said that exact same thing...in 1985 no less! But I think it was Honduras..

@@sandovalperry2895 good grief!
I would guess this is from the early 1970’s because of the mention of Vice President Agnew.
If you're younger than Gen X half of it won't make sense
The magazine the passenger is holding up is the March 28, 1970 edition of Saturday Review.

This must be where spirit and frontier got there business model
They don't make them like that any more!
Very Chintzy
How about the vintage airplane footage... I spotted an A-26, a Beech 18, and a C-130
This is frighteningly close to an actual flight today.
Nice surprise to see Sid Haig as the hijacker. The man was in everything.
I was so worried about Chano, but it appears that he just took a tumble on the roadway. Then he was kind enough to pay for the policeman's motorcycle!
I think I may have flown with them before. Of course back then they were named "Crash & Ash Airlines"!
That was an offshoot of Crashlanida Airlines of Cleveland fame. That was our skit on WGAR-AM.

You Could make THAT into a movie!!😂😉
Looks like Spirit or Southwest airlines
They must have been flying a Boeing!
This was really nice.😊
Hmm still relevant in 2024.
Even more so for Boeing!
Jet Blue before its time
I think I'll dig out Cat Ballou for another watch.

Do you have any idea how much comedic ammo you just gave us? LOL
50 thousand feet , better humor in the old days , and Archie Bunker on Plane Hijackings , everybody gets a gun
Gene Roddenberry sprang to mind, he was both an airline pilot and a motorcycle cop.
I'd like to think he found this as weirdly funny as I did.
I didn't know they made C-130 's into passenger planes !
The civilian variant was know as the L-100, and yes Lockheed did make some but was not as made as many like their other civilian planes
Which tv show? Jack Benny?
Most likely his own show.
Sid Haig from" Devils Rejects" OMG!
Never hear of either.
Prescient.
Splendid word, sir!
Hilarious
What's this from? It's got a Rowan and Martin vibe, but it's too long for Laugh In.

Dang. Haters gotta hate. My wife and I laughed, corny but funny!
Obviously a Democrat!
Hope delivered the goods spot-on and the Agnew joke was hilarious. Try pulling your David out of your Hull.
