You may or may not be aware, but 'AIRPLANE!' was not called 'AIRPLANE!' in Australia. We pronounce and spell it 'AEROPLANE' and apparently that wasn't very funny...even with a '!' at the end. 'AEROPLANE!'. See? Anyway, they renamed it 'FLYING HIGH!' so that's what we've all known it as since it was released. I recorded the trailer on audio tape years ago and dug it out a few years back for my radio show. Now I've attached it to the original US trailer so you can see it. The vision still says 'AIRPLANE!' but...
Oh, and the reason the Paramount's missing from it is because as I said, it came out of an old radio show I did (The Drive-In Double Feature) where we played soundtracks for an hour and then scores for an hour. At intermission we played old drive-in snipes and a classic trailer and I had the old fanfares at either end so I just left them on for something different. Enjoy!
