Airplane! (titled Flying High! in Australia, New Zealand, South Africa, Japan, and the Philippines; "L'aereo più pazzo del mondo" in Italy) is a 1980 American satirical comedy film directed and written by David Zucker, Jim Abrahams, and Jerry Zucker and released by Paramount Pictures. It stars Robert Hays and Julie Hagerty and features Leslie Nielsen, Robert Stack, Lloyd Bridges, Peter Graves, Kareem Abdul-Jabbar, and Lorna Patterson. The film is a parody of the disaster film genre, particularly the 1957 Paramount film Zero Hour!, which it follows fairly closely, with superficial changes. For example, Ted Striker was Ted Stryker in the older film. The film is known for its use of absurd and fast-paced slapstick comedy, including visual and verbal puns and gags.
Airplane! was a financial success, grossing over US$83 million in North America alone, against a budget of just $3.5 million. The film's creators received the Writers Guild of America Award for Best Adapted Comedy, and nominations for the Golden Globe Award for Best Motion Picture – Musical or Comedy and a BAFTA Award for Best Screenplay.

The ground I see is you
Clouds distrurbing my view
Your voice calling me through
Sunset
Rise, sun
I'm circling over you
Slowly you open your eyes
Waving and pushing my airplane a thousand feet higher
CHORUS:
To see all of you, all of you
Pushing through
If there's a heaven, then heaven is you
Nothing to fear
Always to return
A storm ahead, a blizzard, a hurricane, surrounded by lightning
My plane is strong, lifting me up over troubled skies
Turning around I get closer and closer
Your bed is an island ahead
Smiling, you're shaking your pillow
Waving and pushing my airplane a thousand feet higher
CHORUS
All of you, all of you
Pushing through
If there's a heaven, then heaven's you
Nothing to fear
