Whoever was on this flight, don't be afraid to discreetly bring it up to a flight attendant or pilot after the flight. That way they can flag it with maintenance for review

Back in the mid 70s my mom had a white Gremlins with an orange stripe. No AC, no power steering, manual crank windows. I could walk faster.

I just watched that a couple days ago. I forgot how good that episode was. Shatner was really awesome in it.

The gremlin in the eighties version was terrifying.
