Islands in the sky -is just starting on AMC

Another bit of trivia, John Wayne's best cowboy role was "Ethan", in "The
Searchers", IMHO one of the classic westerns. It was also in this movie
where Ethan says, "That'll be the day." And Buddy Holly wrote the song from
the movie line.

Just a tiny piece of trivia. John's son, Ethan, is a private pilot
that flies out of SNA - John Wayne Airport.
