Does anybody know if Airplane! ever appeared as an in-flight movie?

Doubtful, but this post (http://www.blogsouthwest.com/2006/08/04/whats-the-vector-victor/) on the Southwest Airlines blog shows that it's a favorite among pilots.

I remember seeing 'Airplane' in the theaters -- It's the only movie I can recall laughing so hard that I would have paid the projectionist $10 to stop for a couple of minutes in the middle and let me recover. My cheeks hurt from laughing so long!

"I like my coffee black... Like my men."
Anyone else see She's The Man? My friends and I were watching it the other day and one of them just screamed "That's the chick from Airplane!!! The Mom! That's her!" And darn it if she wasn't right :)

"You'd better tell the Captain we've got to land as soon as we can. This woman has to be gotten to a hospital."
" A hospital? What is it?"
"It's a big building with patients, but that's not important right now. "

"What do you make of this?"
"I can make a paper flower or a hat or a pterodactyl!"

"What did the plane look like?"
"Well, it was big and white, with red stripes on the side and curtains in the window... It looked like a big Tylenol!!"

I remember at the beginning of the movie "Get Shorty" they had a scene where one of the characters was sitting at the airport bar and through the windows this plane crashed into a ball of flames.
On the in-flight edition, the view through the window (of now presumably a train station) had been blue-screen changed to a crashing train locomotive!
Doubt they were showing that version on Amtrak!

We'll likely never know unless someone actually saw it an airplane and posts the experience here. :)
Back then, I'm pretty sure only 747's, and a few other large aircraft, had in-flight movies. They weren't as common as they are now.

I wonder the same thing about the upcoming "Snakes on a Plane". Are they going to have the world premeire on a flight, like from LA to NYC? Which airline would allow that? How would homeland security react to a bunch of celebrities on a plane, watching "Snakes on a Plane"? How do I get tickets? :~D
