Airport/YMMV
- Crowning Moment of Awesome: The landing.
- Ensemble Darkhorse: Joe Patroni became a Recurring Character in each of the sequels, though not with the same job. He was always played by George Kennedy.
- Helen Hayes' Oscar would also cement this status.
- Sequelitis: Three, in fact.
- The Woobie: Inez, and arguably Sarah Demerest.
