Same here. Absolute classic movie. I always wondered what type of plane that was. The stunt flying was great too.

Oh c'mon now. That's a Twin Beech Model 18. Classic airplane. And in case you young guys don't know, the drunk pilot was Jim Backus. He was the voice of Mr. Magoo. Oh, and by the way, the guy flying that airplne was one of the greatest pilots ever. Frank Tallman.

He He. I feel shame. LOL. Also, Jim Backus was Mr. Howell the millionaire on Gilligan's Island.

Time to go back and study my airplane flash cards.

I know Jim Backus watching Gilligan's Island reruns growing up and Mr. Magoo along with Flinstones are my mother's favorite cartoons. Mickey Rooney is always a hoot!

Jim Backus was also in this awfully bad B movie that was brilliantly riffed by MST3K,

First time I saw "It's a Mad Mad Mad Mad World" I did not know who Carl Reiner was and the guy in front of him was the Maytag repair man.
