4. Anybody remember Letterman doing a broadcast from a TWA 747?

It was bizarre, even surreal.
I remember his making jokes about 'Captain Billy', who was at the helm.

“Late Night” celebrates its fourth anniversary as the first entertainment show to be broadcast
in-flight aboard a 747 jetliner en route to Miami. The broadcast is honored with an Emmy
Award for outstanding writing, “Late Night’s” third Emmy in this category."

Icahn had just finalized taking TWA private so it was his baby, and he could do anything he wanted to with it.
I was never sure if this actually sold any tickets or not.
