I believe that the prairie dogs that once inhabited the airfield at ABQ might have a different opinion about the FAA.

The scene you're referring to was actually from the movie
Airplane! The actor was William Tregoe. His character - Jack Kirkpatrick - was a parody of the conservative journalist Jack Kilpatrick. At the time, Kilpatrick was a regular on a
60 Minutes feature called "Point - Counterpoint" where he and a "liberal" journalist (most often Shana Alexander) stated opposing points-of-view on an issue of the day. That
60 Minutes piece was also often parodied on
SNL.
