Stephen flyboy

Stephen "Flyboy" Andrews, played by David Emge, is a character in the film Dawn of the Dead.

Flyboy, the traffic reporter for WGON TV, shows up to the studio to tell Fran Parker that they are going to use the helicopter to escape the city. His friend, SWAT member Roger DeMarco and Peter Washington also join them.

After flying some distance, Flyboy has to land for fuel. After finding a place, they are attacked by survivors. Roger kills most but not before Flyboy nearly accidentally shoots Peter due to his lack of gun safety training.

Eventually they arrive at an abandoned mall. Flyboy lands on the roof and they quickly determine they can fortify the mall and hole up there. Flyboy grows more and more frustrated as Fran wants to learn how to use a gun and fly the helicopter. He also feels useless as he cannot handle guns nearly as well as Roger and Peter.

After a roving motorcycle gang raids the mall, Flyboy angrily confronts them, resulting in a violent gun battle. After being shot in the arm, Flyboy is bitten by several zombies. He dies in an elevator and quickly revives into a zombie himself. He leads the other zombies to Peter and Fran in the hidden apartment. Peter shoots Flyboy in the head after a moment of hesitation.
