Airplane Related Movies With The Original Charlies Angels

I recall thinking I had seen almost all of the original Charlie's ANgels in airplane movies where many of them played Flight Attendants. I do recall one with Kate Jackson and one with Farrah Fawcett and I swear I saw one with Jaclyn Smith as a FLight Attendant but I cannot find it.

Here is what I have found of the angels who were in movies that related to flying airplanes.

"Panic in the Skies" 1996 - Kate Jackson as the head Flight Attendant

"Murder on Flight 502" 1975 - Farrah Fawcett also as a Flight ATtendant

"Crash the Mystery of Flight 1501" 1990 - Cheryl Ladd - Ive not seen this but supposedly her husband is killed in this flight and she investigates

"Frequent Flyer" 1996 - SHelley Hack - I saw this and I know her husband is a pilot and I was thinking she was a flight attendant in it

"Falling from the Sky Flight 174" 1995 - Shelley Hack - Not sure if she was a Flight attendant in this

"Freefall" 1999 - Jaclyn Smith - I dont recall seeing this but may have but she is an airplane crash investigator. Still i swear ive seen her as a Flight Attendant in some movie

"Millenium" 1999 - Cheryl Ladd - Ive not seen this but she was a flight attendant abducted by aliens.

For the heck of it here is another from an actress from that era

"The Taking of Flight 847: The Uli Derickson Story" 1989 - Lindsey Wagner - I believe she was a flight attendant

IF anyone can confirm others or tell me if they know of the Jaclyn Smith One that i swear is in my mind please post.

Another "Airport 75" Stewardess was Sharon Gless who went on to do Cagney and Lacey.. she was also a Stewardess in "Crash", which was the true story of Eastern Airlines Flight 401 that crashed in the Everglades. I'll keep my eyes peeled for Jaclyn, she'd certainly make a fine attendant.

Sorry for taking 3 yrs to answer this lol. I do remember finding out Sharon was in Airport 75 and did spot her but wow its so brief and hard to see her. I never did get to see "Crash" or if I did I have just forgotten it. Yeah I agree I think Jaclyn would have been a great flight attendant.

You do know an episode of Charlies Angels did use exterior scenes of Airport 75 within an episode in which Kelly Garrett (Jaclyn Smith) had to land the plan, much the same way Karen Black had to do in the original film?

the Incredible Hulk would likewise do this, again using Airport 75 shots (as well as the landing) in an episode that reunited Bixby with his young costar from Courtship of Eddie's Father, Brandon Cruz.

I am so far behind. I was going through old email and just now seeing posts to my comments. No I did not know that. THanks for sharing that info. I did see the Incredible Hulk one but did not know it was Airport 75 shots. I find that episode humorous with The Hulk flying the plane and how Brandon Cruz reacts to him. Do you happen to know what season it wsa that Kelly flew that plane.

Angel Flight was seaspm 2, Oct. 5, 1977.

Laverne and Shirley would also do the girls having to land the plane when the pilot was knocked out, but as the majority of that episode was on the set, if they showed any of '75, it was a brief clip, plus that wasn't a crasah landing.

"Angel Flight" is one of my favorite CA episodes!!!
