That Airplane reunion you weren’t expecting

1 October 2013 Rob Buckley 1 Comment

It’s been 30 years since Airplane hit the silver screen (they’d probably make a joke about). If you haven’t seen it, fix your condition immediately.

Anyway, to celebrate the anniversary, some of the cast got together. But it probably wasn’t who you thought were going to get back together. Because, you know, it was Airplane and all.
