Oh, it's there.  Someone mentioned that one of the actors in Airplane was a member here --Reply #13.   I thought maybe it was Robert StacK.  I guess people didn't know he was a prominent world champion clay buster, so they asked about him --Replies #23 and #24 (yours).

I answered.

Terry, I was referring to Fly320s' avatar.  At one time he had the pilot blowup doll from "Airplane" as his avatar.  Now he has a picture of Peter Graves in his pilot uniform.
If there really was intelligent life on other planets, we'd be sending them foreign aid.

Conservatives see George Orwell's "1984" as a cautionary tale.  Progressives view it as a "how to" manual.

My wife often says to me, "You are evil and must be destroyed." She may be right.

Liberals believe one should never let reason, logic and facts get in the way of a good emotional argument.

Picture? I don't see no stinkin' picture. I used to be able to see the autopilot one.

EDIT: Nevermind - I was thinking of another member's missing avatar. Ben needs more coffee.

That is just nonsense.  You must have him confused with someone else. 

You can see his name tag says Roger Murdock.  He's an airline pilot. 

Just don't ask about not trying hard enough on defense.  https://youtu.be/ArHNrCvwq4c

There might be more choices except for that unfortunate night over Macho Grande.  https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JswFF2dKiLM
