While this movie is a hilarious spoof, it is not necessarily what everyone believes it to be.
The 1957 movie Zero Hour, starring Dana Andrews and Sterling Hayden, is the fodder for many scenes in Airplane!
The unwilling pilot in Zero Hour is the same character, Ted Stryker.
Several lines in the movie are taken directly from Zero Hour.
There are of course many spoof from 70's era culture and TV commercials.

Based on other reviews here, we bought the movie and watched it this evening.
The plot and story are ok, and somewhat predictable, but that is ok, we weren't expecting anything more.
What was surprising and distracting was the animation. In an age where realistic animation has become commonplace, this movie is a bit of a disappointment.
We could not help thinking of Hanna-Barbera when watching this movie. We have become accustomed to much higher levels of animation, and this flick was just not up to the levels expected.
Many of the backgrounds are quite static. Most surprising was the low level of detail on the characters themselves.
There was a time when more levels of detail made an animated movie worth seeing, regardless of the story.
That level of detail in animation is now expected: that lack of detail os now a distraction.
