This is a classic episode of The Bob Newhart Show. Fred Willard plays a handsome Italian-American playboy who has flown back to Chicago from Cleveland to claim his girlfriend back. Actor Bill Daily plays Howard Borden, an inept airline "navigator" (which even in the 1970s had been an obsolete member of a cockpit crew) who plots to use his status as a dashing aviator to upstage him. Note Howard's use of a WW-I British Sopwith Camel open cockpit biplane scarf as an added touch of aviation charisma, along with slipping a note to his buddies in the control tower to read over the airport's P.A. system. Actor Bill Daily steals this episode.
"Your attention please! Will Captain Howard Borden report to the airport control tower. We have an emergency only you can solve!!!"
