I just saw Barbra Eden (I Dream of Genie) the other day in ALB. Saw Eddie Murray (just elected to the baseball hall of fame) in CLE on Tuesday.
 
I once flew Dee Wallace from CAE to DFW. (She was Elliot's mom in E.T.) Bumped into James "Scotty" Doohan in TYS. I'm sorry to say he was kind of a prick.

My friends and family have flown various celebrities around, and it's funny to me who turns out to be really nice and who turns out to be an as_hole:

:) Nice: Leonard Nimoy, Charles Bronson, Chuck Norris, Aaron Neville, Sandra Bullock, the late Col. Harlan Sanders (no kidding!)

:mad: As_hole: the late Carl Sagan(!), William Shatner, Oprah Winfrey, Richard Collins (of Flying magazine)

Oprah refused to speak to flight attendants directly. All requests or offers for service had to be routed through the handler who was sitting right next to her! (B!tch...)
 
Hey NEdude,

How does Barbara Eden look now? Gosh was she a babe in the early 70s ... I was like five years old watching "I dream" and I knew she was hot.

Very, very rich b!tch.

Flew commercial with Gerald Ford once 6-8 yrs ago. It was interesting seeing his arrival at the gate. the Scrt Svc guys stood out like a sore thumb when they came up. There was a 10-12 yr old girl and her mom sitting next to me at the gate. I told the kid to watch for some important people. Sure enough, more Scrt Svc and Prez Ford rolled up about 30 seconds later. The kid may have glanced glanced up for 2-3 seconds then went back to her book or whatever it was she was looking at. I thought it was impressive.

One of the scrt svc guys stood next to me watching the gate after the vips had boarded. he talked a little and was friendly. Obviously had some pretty bulky things under his coat. I didn't ask what he was packing, not that he'd have said anyway... :D
 
What's Oprah doing riding on the airlines anyway? She's wealthy enough to not have to do that. I think she owns a G-IV or something- maybe it was in the shop.
 
This a pretty funny thread. Was on a flight with Jerry Lee Lewis (who was wearing a horrible bowling shirt) from MEM-BNA. Incredibly tacky. Saw the Chief (Robert Parrish) at Logan one day. Really towered over everyone.

Also was on a flight with the Golden State Warriors from DTW-MEM once. Back when Hardaway/Sprewell were on the team. One of the players sat between me and another guy, who had been imbibing heavily. Guy turns to the ballplayer and says "Do you play basketball or something?" Player says to him "somethin like that".

My roommate flew for Cape Air and just mentioned the other day he had Mike Wallace numerous times as well as Joe Pantalione (Ralphie from the Sopranos).
 
I haven't flown them....but I boarded them on the aircraft: (suprise they fly SWA)

Sam Waterson of Law & Order(really nice guy,but I would have rather had Angie Harmon)

Bob Backlund....former Pro Wrestler,he and his wife went to Vegas,nice couple

The Bush twins with all the associated Secret Service guys (The captain told the F/As not to serve them drinks)

Rip Torn......took a 2 stop flight from SMF to BDL,no one knew who he was.

UCONN mens and womens basketball team.....spoiled snots

Doug Flutie and his entire family.......Doug is a total class act,even with the other passengers harrasing him for autographs,he kept a smile on

Others that have flown SWA
Julia Roberts
Jim Rome
Anna Nicole Smith(I don't know if we should be proud of that)
David Faustino...."Bud" from Married with Children

Flying the Delta Shuttle, we took James Kalstrom, the former FBI guy who helped investigate TWA 800, between DCA and LGA a few times.

We had Yogi Berra on a flight from EWR to ATL for MLB's Century all-star team.

We had Janet Reno on a flight from DCA to ATL once. She sat in coach at an exit row with her security detail. She was taller than both of them.

Johnny Bench from CVG to EWR.

Jesper Parnavik, upside down hat and all on a flight.

Have flown with Uli Derickson once. She's a F/A for DAL now and was on TWA 847 when it was hijacked.

Flying for Trans States, we had Mickey Rooney on a flight from JFK to somewhere.

Also with Trans States, we had Pete Williams (NBC & President George H Bush) on a flight from DEC to STL.
 
Flew Regis from PIT to South Bend, IN.

Guess he was doing something at Notre Dame, but he was trying to keep a low profile.
