Roger!

Huh??

 

[SpauldingSmails]

I wonder if he knew what a phenomenon the movie, and the lines of Capt. Oveur had became within in the actual airline community.

RIP Peter Graves

 

[Mookie]

Off to the great gladiator movie in the sky...

 

[ImbracableCrunk]

Thanks for the laughs, Captain. RIP.

 

[SFR]

He was not a captain, he was an actor. He played a character, the character is still alive and well.

You guys are tards

 

[GuppyWN]

Off to the great gladiator movie in the sky...

Do you like gladiator movies?

RIP Captain.

Gup

 

[Mongolikecandy]

Now he can finally hang around the gymnasium. RIP.

Great piece on Peter in today's Minneapolis Star Tribune. He went to Minneapolis Southwest High (my school) in the early 40's.
He starred in the original "Mission Impossible" tv series in the 60's/70's..
Brother was James Arness, who was the star of "Gunsmoke". Quite a legacy for two brothers from the midwest...
He was just honored last year with a star on the Hollywood Walk of Fame...

A class guy, probably would have made a decent airline pilot....

"Have you ever seen a grown man ... naked?"

RIP

[Tomct]

You ever wonder why Sparks rubs up and down on your leg.....

Love that guy... RIP Capt Over.....THAT's CLARENCE over.....:laugh:

 

[Birddog]

Crap... There goes Airplane 3.

They could always upgrade Roger. He's probably paid his dues by now.

 

[Dizel8]

Nah, he'll complain about dragging his rollaboard up and down the jetway!

 

[grog_sit_reserv]

What's his seniority number?

I think he should get an honorary "Gone West" mention in the ALPA magazine.

 

[livin'thesim]

I shall have the fish tomorrow in his honor.

You guys are tards

I think you might be a ruh-tard. Just like Rain Man.

One airline used the clip of Capt. Oveur giving his briefing to the other crew as a great example of CRM (It starts right after the fueler takes his credit card & Capt. Oveur signs the credit slip). Who would have thought there would be so much movie comedic value from the likes of Peter Graves, Lloyd Bridges, Leslie Nielsen (this before the Naked Gun Pix), Robert Stack, et al??

God's Speed Peter Graves, and remember...we're all counting on you!!

I heard he's on the SCAB list.

another note on his history, from the Minneapolis Star Tribune:

In 1943 and 1944, as Peter Aurness, he was the Minnesota State High School Champion in the 120 yard high hurdles, running for Minneapolis Southwest. He then did a stint in the Army Air Force, and then studied drama at the U of MN. He changed his name to Graves upon signing his first movie contract in the late 40's....

Lived and died in Pacific Palisades, CA
