Sponsor of Prop 13 Howard Jarvis at the airport

Howard Jarvis, co-sponsor of California's Proposition 13 - did a cameo role in "Airplane." (Prop 13 cut property taxes substantially in 1978 and made raising other taxes more difficult. Prop 13 is often viewed as the starting point for the "taxpayer revolt" of the era.) During the opening credits, Jarvis gets into a taxi, but the driver (leaving the meter going) runs into the airport and gets on a plane. After the final credits, Jarvis is still waiting for his ride.
