Frank's first book, which was discussed multiple times, was the inspiration for the movie of the same name and was mentioned as a favourite of the host.

Catch me if you can's one of my favorite movies of course I read the book multiple times I'm just a big fan of that.
you mentioned in the book that you put on the uniform and then I'm paraphrasing here but you put on the uniform to feel better about yourself in some ways or to feel important
there's a scene in the movie that Stephen Spielberg had which is so true is that and actually I did walk up to a TWA counter I was getting it was in a uniform I was getting ready to purchase a ticket and she said to me are you buying or riding I said a bag of pardon are you riding the plane or you're buying the ticket you want to be in the jump seat I said the jump seat yeah I gave you a pass just go on the jump seat
you remember the story that I got on board one of the flights and for the first time a pilot said the fAA tower wants me to see your license I said oh um you know I put that in my flight bag and I checked it and he told him that and they said okay so then I thought to myself boy I have an ID card but I can't let that happen again
I saw an ad where you could have a actually a plaque made of your fAA license it would be a aluminum plaque with black letters and velvet around it in a wood frame all you had to do is supply them the information so I sent it in said I was this pilot this is equipment I flew on my height my weight and they came back with this plaque and then this plaque I went into a printing shop in new york and I said to the guy look this is my pilots license on a plaque but I'd like to be you know like a diploma I'd like to keep it in my wallet can you do something with it
