What's the name of the original?
I think it was Airport (not Airport 707). It was a Rank film.
Actually they changed the plot to make it less silly.
In the original, the WW2 pilot is on the ground and is lowered into the 707 from a helicopter through the front window. This is briefly referenced in Flying High when they lower the window like in the original.
Flying Sober.
