---Leslie Nielsen died today---
 

Folks, we all need to bow our heads. The great comedian Leslie Nielsen died today, you know him as the Captain in the movie "Airplane".

We've all had our "airplane" experiences! At a party: "Billy, do you like to look at Roman gladiators", and such nonsense.

"Billy, have you ever seen a grown man naked?"

Folks, we lost a great man today, a man that made all of us laugh, and via his comedy, made our profession better. Fly west, Leslie Nielsen.

"Monsters from the Id"
 

His 1956 movie "Forbidden Planet" was much better than the other sci-fi productions of that era. One reason may be that it was based on a really good play: Shakespeare's The Tempest.

Tailwinds brother...thanks for the great comedy...

Mods...please don't move this thread because there are probably a lot of aviators that grew up to this man. Just would love to read everyones memories about him. I think that Mr. Neilsen earned our respect to be put on the "Majors" section...and not be lost is some section I never go to. Thanks...

I mean no disrespect to the Mods about the other sections on this website...just it seems that most of the traffic is on the Major or Regional fourms and just want to have this thread have the opportunity to grow...that is all...

God Bless Mr. Nielsen....

Leslie Nielsen WAS NOT Captain Oveur in Airplane. That was Peter Graves, who sadly passed not too long ago. Leslie Nielsen played Dr. Rumack. He is responsible for the phrase, "I am serious...and don't call me Shirley."

Sadly, we've lost most of the cast of Airplane! Leslie Nielsen, Robert Stack, Lloyd Bridges, Peter Graves and Barbara Billingsly.

I hope he's in heaven eating his favorite airplane meal.....lasagna. RIP Mr. Nielsen

Any of you guys want a good laugh? See if you can find "Bad Golf My Way" or "Bad Golf Made Easier".....classic!!!
