himself. He does such "typical" redneck things as bringing the couch
out onto the lawn, propositioning Meg, and chewing tobacco. Peter puts
a large patriotic and anti-abortion sticker on the back window of his
pickup, which obscures his view and causes him to reverse into
Quagmire's car, destroying it. As a result, Peter has to drive
Quagmire to the airport, where he is due to fly an airplane from
Quahog to Atlanta. While at the airport, Peter steals the fuel used
for Quagmire's airplane, believing it will make his pickup fly. As a
result, Quagmire's plane runs out of fuel part way into the flight and
crashes. Quagmire loses his job and after draining his life savings
within a few weeks is forced to live with the Griffins until he can
find another job.Annoyed by Quagmire's behavior in the house, Peter's
wife Lois tells him to help Quagmire get a job. Unfortunately Quagmire
keeps messing up every job they find, complaining the only thing he
can do well is fly a plane. Peter, Quagmire, Joe and Cleveland make up
a plan to get Quagmire to get his job back: whilst Quagmire is a
passenger on a flight, the others will impersonate cabin crew to get
onto the flight, then drug the pilots so Quagmire will have to step in
and safely land the plane. Shortly after take off, Peter, Joe and
Cleveland drug the pilots and then calls for help, only for them to
find Quagmire is not on board because while in the airport, Quagmire
got distracted by having sex with the woman at the check-in desk,
causing him to miss the flight. As none of them can fly the plane, it
goes into freefall. Quagmire is deeply disappointed with himself, and
goes to the bar, where Playboy founder Hugh Hefner meets him. Hefner
tells Quagmire that the late pornographic actor John Holmes believed
that Quagmire was the greatest pilot of all time. Feeling
reinvigorated, he goes off to the air traffic control tower and, via
radio, gives Peter detailed instructions on how to land the plane
safely, which are successful although Peter is briefly imprisoned
afterwards for hijacking the flight and raped while in prison. As a
reward for his work, Quagmire's job is reinstated. Airport '07 Biography, NetWorth, Height, Age, Weight, Family, Married, Son, Daughter
