| | | | | Academy Award for Best Supporting Actress: Encyclopedia II - Airport film - Further Comment and Plot Outline Airport 1970 The one actor appearing in all four films is George Kennedy in the key role of airline mechanic Joe Patroni, although the sequels seem to have confused his wife's name and how many children he had.

Whoever his wife is, by 1979, she's deceased.)
Like its novel namesake, the movie gives some insight to the operations of a modern airport of its day, although the book is, of c ...
