Who played the 2 airplane mechanics? The mechanic who conversed with fletch about Alan going to South America -- what else was he in?
sharehis name is Burton Gilliam.
was also in HONEYMOON IN VEGAS as the leader of the FLYING ELVIS'S.
THE GETAWAY EARLY 90'S
shareYeah, Burton Gilliam was hilarious in both "Blazing Saddles" and "Fletch"! In fact the special features on the DVD indicate that Chevy's fake teeth were created for that scene because Burton Gilliam had those big choppers! That scene was great!
The other mechanic was played by Beau Starr.
Connery, Moore, and Brosnan! Accept NO substitutes!
he was also in back to the future III.
shareHe was also Darth Vader in Star Trek
In all seriousness: WHen you look up an actor on IMDB there is a field at the bottom that reads, "ACTOR & _____" and you fill in the blank and will show all the movies where both actors were both in. For example if you look up Bill Paxton and fill in Arnold Schwarzenegger (or vice versa) Commmando, The Terminator, and True Lies would come up
The same should be done for movies: you enter two movies and it shows you which actor(s) were in both.

Bill Paxton was in Commando.
shareBurton Gillem used to be a boxer and a firefighter in Richardson Tx. The one mechanic who was near the back of the plane.
"All year long you have been calling him Bob, his name's not Bob, it's Bob, "Bo." ,"Bo"!
Beau Starr, one of the mechanics, played the Sheriff of Haddonfield in Halloween 4 & 5 if you're into crappy horror sequels.

F you - those are solid horror sequels
shareI saw Burton Gilliam refereeing a fight several years ago. My brother, who with me would watch the Gilliam scene in the hangar over and over and over and over, called me and told me. I checked it out, sure enough it was him.
"That's what I always ask him... what are you doin' up there, you doin' some stunt flyin' or somethin'? - LOL. Throw in the hilarious gestures.
Wasn't this guy in Pink Cadillac? One of the gang members, says the like "She gives you that look, you know, THAT look..."

I am becoming an IMDB forum cynic, because I opened this thread totally expecting someone to be complaining the movie was not realistic or had a huge plot hole because there would really only be ONE Mechanic in a place like that!
