Airport Page #13

Synopsis: This precursor to later "epic" 70's disaster films illustrates 12 hours in the lives of the personnel and passengers at the "Lincoln Airport." Endless problems, professional and personal, are thrown at the various personnel responsible for the safe and proper administration of air traffic, airline management and aviation at a major US airport. Take one severe snowstorm, add multiple schedules gone awry, one elderly Trans Global Airlines stowaway, shortages, an aging, meretricious pilot, unreasonable, peevish spouses, manpower issues, fuel problems, frozen runways and equipment malfunctions and you get just a sample of the obstacles faced by weary, disgruntled personnel and passengers at the Lincoln Airport. Toss in one long-suffering pilot's wife, several stubborn men, office politics and romance and one passenger with a bomb and you have the film "Airport" from 1970.

They may have penetrated.

There's an ambulance waiting.

I'll take her to the hospital.

I have an ophthalmic

surgeon standing by.

Any other complications?

She has a fractured lower arm.

They'll probably use

a general for that.

Before they decide on

which type of anesthesia

better tell them that she's pregnant.

Here she comes.

It's all right, captain.

We'll take care of her.

I'm going to the hospital with her.

Nice going, sweetheart.

Remind me to send

a thank you note to mr. Boeing.

Good morning.

First class or economy?

First class.

You know, it was much more fun

the other way.

I'm too keyed up to sleep.

What about some breakfast?

Sounds like a good idea.

Where should we go?

Your apartment.

You've been bragging about

your scrambled eggs.

It's time I found out

just how good they really are.

Mr. Bakersfeld.

Maintenance just called.

The big snow blower's got damage.

Mike wants you to take a look

and make a decision

whether to work overtime

to repair them.

- Tell him to take care of it himself.

- Yes, sir.
