Jimmie Walker: 1970s TV star of Good Times (1974) fame, as the windshield wiper man who falls from the plane after "checking the oil". Walker had co-starred in Airport '80 (1979) just the previous year. That same year, in a chance encounter with producer Hawk Koch, Jimmie was asked if wanted to appear in Airplane. Although Walker did not actually take Koch seriously he was indeed contacted by Koch shortly after to play a small walk on role. Koch thought it was a subtle inside joke about Jimmie Walker's career decline in airport disaster films. Walker was reportedly paid $600 for his appearance.
