Has anyone here ever flown anyone famous?

Flown Jerry Stiller on multiple occasions, and you can't ask for a better passenger. Funny and polite as can be. Introduced himself the first time I flew him, and greets me by first name every flight (which is so impressive, because theres about 30 PIC and SIC's that fly him throughout the season, and I believe he knows most names)

Meg Ryan, Larry David, Daryl Hall, Tim Thomas of the Bruins to name a few...

She's a fat, disgusting, pig and a rude, obnoxious, loser. If I never see her again, it will be two times too many. I'm hoping maybe with Coco going on tour I might get a shot at that.

That would be awesome.

I wonder what Bill's fascination with her is about...... :crazy:

The strong silent type. Maybe that's what makes him so attractive to me. :dunno:
 
I've met:

Katie Holmes + Tom Cruise (very very nice people)

John McCain (looked like he was ready to keel over)

Ty and a couple designers from Extreme Makeover: home (all very nice)

Various other CEOs, Senators, Governors...just can't think of all their names.

A few guys that I work with got to hang out with ACDC for a few hours after a show because of a crazy winter storm or something.

Would love to meet them.
 
Where I used to work at several years ago, we used to fly an NFL Quarterback (Cowboys) and his family exclusively, but someone else is doing that now last I heard. Right now my friend is flying Matthew Fox (The dude from Lost and Party of Five).
 
Yeah I was mainly curious about the charter guys. I didn't know if you guys met most of your passengers or if it was a "you do your thing and I'll do mine" type mentality.

I ran into Larry the Cable Guy at an FBO last year, too. Nice guy and much less of a hick than he makes himself out to be.

Hmmmm...because he's an actor/comedian playing a part for mad cash! :insane:
 
I rarely recognize people when I see them.

~We were getting ready to leave Burbank when a P-51 named "Kiss Me Katie" lands and taxied over by us. My friend and I were looking at it, said hi to the pilot as we walked around it. We got in our plane to leave and my friend says. I didn't know Tom Cruise was a pilot?

~MillionAir Burbank. Sitting in the FBO eating cookies (we did pay $25 to park after all) talking to a Global Express pilot who was waiting on passengers. The FO and FA are getting catering on board. He gets a call and heads out to start the engines. Suddenly about 15 people pour though the door. The MillionAir staff is going nuts. A Limo drives out to the plane which is right outside the glass. 5 or 6 people get on the airplane and within 3 minutes the door is closed and wheels are rolling. Someone gets on a cell phone and says Mr. Jackson is on the runway now. They all looked like normal people to me. I would have expected some moon walking.

~I landed at Albuquerque following a Westwind N400WN and parked next to it at the FBO. The three from the Westwind and I rode around the FBO shuttle and got something to eat. A guy with a funny voice, chest exposed with a 2 pound gold necklace around his neck (can't be real) is talking to me. When I called for a ride back to the FBO the same three guys got in the van. I'm paying for my fuel and the guy with the funny voice is on the pay phone. Tell your daddy Wayne called we'll be landing in Las Vegas at about 2:00. A guy comes out to pull my chalks; Did you see Wayne Newton?

~I boarded an American 757 to DFW. Got my usual glass of wine before takeoff. My wine was refilled not once but twice BEFORE TAKEOFF. I was flying enough the FA's often called me by name when I came though the door but I'd never seen this crew before. Not only was I Executive Platinum, I had an AAirPass after all. I was feeling all important until I went to the Lav. The FA asked if the passenger next to me was behaving? Yes (funny question)? The FA opened an American Way Magazine to page 1 where the CEO gives his little spiel.
That's your seat mate she says.
Don't you guys have company jets?
Yea, this is one of them.

~American MD-80 and just before the door closes a passenger is escorted onto the plane. I'm on the isle and he's got the window next to me so I get up to let him in. Real friendly guy and we talk for about an hour. Order drinks and dinner. The FA puts his dinner on the tray and whispers. "Mr. (Donald) Sutherland, I just want to say your my favorite actor." I didn't even turn my head, I knew that voice.

~Again I was on American coming out of JFK. Someone boarded late and sat 2 rows in front of me. I look up and there was red hair sticking up 16" inches above the seat back. Man! The woman must not own a mirror! One FA is standing guard where the main cabin meets 1st class shooing people back to the aft bathrooms (kinda strange). We finally land and I've got to see what woman owns this red hair. A skinny little guy stands up. I was the only person on the plane who didn't know Carrot Top was in row 4. I guess he'd been on Regis and Kelly that morning.

~Not aircraft related but I was driving with a guy I work with. A move shoot had the streets screwed up. Trailers were double parked taking up a lane. A kid runs out between the trailers forcing me to stomp on the brakes. A worried mother runs out, grabs the kid. Mom then waves to thank me for not killing her kid. My pax says; Darn, you almost killed Sissy Spacek's kid.

~Took my mom to brunch in Newport Beach. She wanted to walk over the the bakery after we ate. She started talking to another customer at the bakery, a older woman. I'm paying very little attention until I hear.
You look familiar, have we met before?
No, but I used to be on TV. Did you ever watch Ozzy and Harriet? It was Harriet Nelson.

~LAX a very pretty blond woman and an bunch of camera flashes going off. I almost get ran over. No idea?

~Oakland. Young black male with gold and baggy pants boarding in front of me. People are asking for autographs and stepping on my feet. Finally security shows up. No idea but one person was getting a CD signed?

~From comments made some soap star was sitting next to me going into Fort Myers. I brought her down to earth because I still have no idea who she was.
 
I took the President's limo and support vehicles all over during the Clinton era but only ever got to meet Gore. I heard Bush used to come over to the 141 all the time and say hi, but Clinton never did. Took the Navy Football team to the Aloha bowl one year, and the Dallas Cowboy cheerleaders on a USO tour once.
 
First day on the job Harrison Ford flew in on his citation sovereign along with Sean Tucker. They were in town speaking at a local aviation museum and Harrison got an award. I was able to get both of their autographs and talk with them a bit. Not a bad first day

I think some of you may know this story...

Was flying back to CMH from DFW after spending Thanksgiving with my during my grad school years. Was going back to meet a girl I had met online who I had been exchanging emails with for awhile. When I get to the back of this particular AA MD-80, I'm mostly alone, except for three guys across the aisle. Upon closer inspection, I noticed it was David Carradine and two of his stoner looking friends (they were all wearing Kill Bill jackets). I didn't talk to him because I figured he wanted his privacy.

So the next night, I'm sitting at the Hilton bar at Easton and telling this new girl the story of how I sat across from the Grasshopper on my flight the night before. All the while, someone is playing piano magnificently across the bar. Not long after I finish the story, the piano stops and people start clapping. I look up and, low and behold, it's David Carradine.

So naturally, I get up and walk over the piano and ask "are you following me?" He was confused until I explained that I was on the flight with him. Chatted for a second - nice guy. He was in town for a comic book convention.

Oh - and the girl? Now my wife :)
 
Alley Mills (Mom from The Wonder Years) and her husband, both very nice, and Paul Cellucci (former gov. of Mass, looks just like Robert De Niro), although I didn't actually 'meet' him.
