Jock Lindsey

unflappable teasing professional calm reassuring

Jock Lindsey serves as Indiana Jones's trusted British pilot, flying an amphibious seaplane from Peru's Urubamba River. He perches calmly on the wing awaiting Indy's arrival amid pursuit, hops into the cockpit, fires the engines, and taxis across the water to scoop up his passenger. Aboard, he pilots steadily over the jungle twilight while bantering about his pet boa constrictor Reggie, teasing Indy's phobia with light reassurance. His unflappable competence enables escapes and fosters rapport under pressure.
