Have flown:

Martha Stewart (was in a good mood - for her - that day!).
Peyton Manning (nicest, most down-to-earth celebrity I have dealt with. He actually apologized for the size of his and his wifes' bags, and offered to help load!).
His dad, Archie Manning.
Fred Couples (Golfer); nice guy.
Al Michaels (real down-to-earth and friendly).
Norwegian actress Liv Ullman (she and her party cleaned the airplane and bagged the catering and trash before we landed).
Jim Thome - nice guy.
Mack McClarty (Clintons' White House Chief of Staff and childhood friend - nice guy).


Have run across:

John Mellencamp
Emeril LeGasse
Michael Milken (babbling to a friend about some amazing kids toy);
LeLe Sobieski (hot actress).
Morris Chesnut (actor);
Terrence Stamp (actor-played lead bad guy from Planet Krypton in Superman movie).
Passed Aaron Neville on escalator @ ATL (had trouble holding onto rail due to too much Cocoa buh-uh-ter!
Darrell Waltrip
Some old guy who's a character actor in dozens of movies stuck his head in the pilot lounge @ LAS Executive (hey! It's That Guy!).
Annie Wilson of Heart (Huuuge gal).
NFL Commissioner Paul Tagliabue (asked me where men's room was @ Avitat HPN-had to go real bad!).
Reggie Jackson
Jessie Jackson (@MSY after Katrina).
Shuttle Astronaut John Grunsfeld flying an Aero Commander @ North American PWK (I was flying with a friend of his - talked with him for a while, and he gave me a Patch from his latest mission to service the Hubble Telescope).
Senators Evan Bayh, Christopher Dodd.
Dick Cheney (before he was Veep) @ Lane Aviation in CMH (almost ran into him as he came around a corner; we did the left/right dance and he nodded and said "How ya doin'").
Bill Richardson, then Energy Sec (now New Mexico Gov); had to wait to use the men's room @ Signature ALB while secret service guarded it so he could take a dump. Big guy!
Was @ IX Jet CLE when Air Force One came in with Clinton. Everyone had to vacate the FBO for about 20 min while Secret Service did a sweep with dogs. Saw him from a distance get off the plane.
John Kerry while campaigning, @ Galaxy PBI.
Mikael Gorbachev @ Dupage Jet Ctr.

I used to fly Tom Delay frequently in 2004. Actually flew him to the Republican National Convention in 2004. I'm still in church begging for forgivness. The man upstairs is still not talking to me.

Rusty Wallace at Jet-TEB in Dec for the Nascar awards dinner
Rudy Guliani- Never been to Million Air TEB and not seem him there
Ken Fineberg- 9/11 paymaster to the famalies. Spoke with him for about 10 minutes and he was surprised anyone knew who he was. Lots of respect for that guy

Lots of others I don't feel like hashing up right now

George W Bush (prior to becoming President)

If you don't mind me asking, what did you think of him? When I was working line in 2000, he got off his campaign plane and was walking into the terminal and saw me and another line guy standing about 80 feet away 90 degrees to his direction of travel. Without missing a beat, he changed direction, came over to us, squared us up in the eye and shook both of ours hands. I was impressed and knew no democrat would ever do that except for Bill Clinton. I'm not a fan of W's policies, nor did I vote for him, but he is a stand-up guy, a gentleman, and I don't think he has forgotten the manners his mother tried to teach him.

If I may interject, every anecdote I have heard about the man (and there are many) indicate that he is a friendly, outgoing decent man who genuinely likes and cares about people. It burns me when his detractors try to portray him as some evil clueless idiot who is intent on pushing his dark agenda on the world. There is plenty room to disagree with his policies and to argue whether or not he is a lousy President. His real crime in the eyes of many is that he is a Conservative who puts his principles above politics; that doesn't make him a bad person in the real scheme of things.

Sorry to inject politics into this thread, and I'm not trying to start an argument with Bush haters. I just couldn't resist putting my two cents worth here.

I saw him at a speech I guess it was summer or spring in 2000 near TPA. He was a decent guy and seemed to enjoy the crowd. Seemed very straight forward and comfortable.

My dad flew Bush Sr. down to FL about a year or so ago. My dad's an uber Bush freak, so he was appropriately star struck.
