Model Airplanes

Jerry Seinfield’s weekly celebration of classic-car life, “Comedians in Cars Getting Coffee,” shifts next month to Netflix from Sony’s Crackle platform, where it started in 2012 and recently kicked off its ninth season.

The series features Seinfeld conducting high-spirited interviews with performers in a cool car (usually) and over a cup of coffee. In a statement, Seinfeld said, “When I first started thinking about “Comedians in Cars Getting Coffee,’ the entire Netflix business model consisted of mailing out DVDs in envelopes. I love that we are now joining together, both at very different points.”

OK, that’s the news. Really, this is just an excuse to recall some favorite moments from the series. Such as:

• The 2014 episode in which Seinfeld asks Howard Stern about Stern’s hair: “I don’t even know what the look is — is it Slash or Rhea Perlman?” 

• The one where Seinfeld takes funnyman Patton Oswalt out in a DeLorean DMC-12. Like many DeLoreans, this one dies two minutes into the trip. Later, Seinfeld has a backup DeLo delivered. He notes that if you’re going to get in one, you better have one in reserve. 

• The time Jerry and veteran funny guy Robert Klein — remember Klein’s “pleezdon’ttrytostartme” and “leavemealonnnne” description of cold-morning car troubles — go out in a 1967 Jaguar Mark II, but not before stopping by Klein’s house. Who would have thought Klein was into model airplanes?

• In 2012, Seinfeld picks up TV neighbor Michael Richards. He and Kramer cruise around in a 1962

[1] “Drone” is itself a fairly broad term that encompasses several types of flight-capable machines. Currently, quadcopter and related designs are popular with commercial and consumer operators, although fixed-wing drones that more closely resemble traditional remote-controlled airplanes do exist. For the purposes of this Legal Memorandum, the term “drone” refers to a device weighing less than 55 pounds that is incapable of carrying a human occupant and is generally designed for low-altitude, relatively low-speed flight. Larger drones that are capable of high-altitude, high-speed, and long-range flight—military drones, for example—are beyond the scope of this paper, although Congress should not assume that manned aircraft statutes apply to this category of drone either.

[4] The history of aviation regulation in the United States is a complicated one, and regulatory authority was transferred several times in the decades after 1926. In 1934, the aeronautics branch became the Bureau of Air Commerce. In 1938, Congress passed the Civil Aeronautics Act and created a new, independent Civil Aeronautics Authority to regulate aviation. In 1940, the agency was divided into the Civil Aeronautics Administration (CAA) and the Civil Aeronautics Board (CAB), each with different functions. The CAA was tasked with air traffic control and the enforcement of aviation safety rules; the CAB was responsible for accident investigation and economic regulation, including setting prices and determining airline routes. In 1958, Congress created an independent Federal Aviation Agency to
