At first I thought you meant the classic Airplane. Then I had another sip of my coffee.

I think there was a number of "Airport" movies. The first in 1970, then "Airport 75" ,77 and 79 with the Concorde. The 70's was an era where disaster movies like this were popular. Remember "Towering Inferno" and "Earthquake"?
So which "Airport" movie are we talking about here. The comedy of 1980 or the various drama's that came out before that. I remember seeing the comedy in the summer of 1980 at the drive in with my girl friend at the time. That movie was so very different at the time. I will never forget a scene where there is panic in the plane and out of nowhere there is a set of very huge female breasts at full screen. The car next to us was a car filled with a young family and you could hear the commotion in that car over that scene. That is a moment in time that i will never forget. Does anyone still remember drive in's, i loved them from 1974 to about 2007.

Ya, Earthquake in "Sensoround", The Poseidon Adventure, yadda, yadda ... it seems that the movie casts were made up of past Hollywood stars from the '50s.

Loved the drive-in! So did my girlfriend, Laurie.
In Cobourg Ontario, where I grew up, the drive-in was (is) located on Theatre Road, which coincidently was the illegal quarter mile strip for late night street racing.

Interesting thing about Airport, being made in the late 1960's. It's long before metal detectors at airports and all of the modern security. I remember picking my sister up in about 1971 or 1972 at the old Calgary terminal and we walked right to the gate. Next time I was there to pick up my father we had to wait in the arrivals area.

As a kid, I remember going right up to the terminal/glass to see the airplanes when we went there to pick up my grandpartents; we did that several times.
I too absolutely love the movie "Airplane!" - but I have never seen the movie "Airport" from which it was based off of to spoof...
