Gilligan

I flew Bob Denver from CRW to ATL in an E120. He was a nice guy according to the flight attendant. He walked out to the plane with that big ol' Gilligan smile on his face. Gave all of us signed b&w pictures of himself advertising Gilligan.com. Fortunately, I had one of my relatively few squeakers that day. Fun times, Fun times.

I have flown a handful of "celebs" and have seen about a hundred more. The one that sticks out in my memory is Liz Hurley at IAD Piedmont. She was 100 feet away, wearing work-out clothes (no, not spandex) sunglasses, and a cap but was still HOT AS BALLS!!!!!! Wow, what a woman......

Oh, regarding Oprah. She was in BNA one afternoon in her G4 with her dogs. She left the dogs with her pilots who let all of us play with them for a while. I'm a dog lover so this was a good thing. Had I known about her attitude, I'd have played football with them or something. (Just kidding there PETA - down boy).

I have nothing to add, but Wow! Elizabeth Hurley?! Lucky man. She is definitely in my Top 3 list of all time. Till the day I die I will never undrstand what Hugh was thinking. I want to smack him everytime I see one of his dumb movies.

In Montreal saw the guy from Indiana Jones with the beard...he was also in that show sliders if anyone remembers that. He was rather rude, cool sounding voice though.

Then, of all places....SAT to be exact, on my way to San Francisco I was sitting waiting to board a plane and noticed an older man a few seats down and across from me. He was sitting alone and as I looked closer it was none other than Chuck Yeager! I walked over and introduced myself, I was younger at the time, probably about 16 and I told him my interests in aviation and flying. We chatted for a few minutes, gave me some advice (told me to join the air force...) It was amazing just to be able shake his hand....to think that was the hand on the controls when breaking the sound barrier. He was an extremely nice man. I will never forget that day. Talk about a kid's dream come true!

Peace,

Callista Flockhart:

Does she add to or take away from the gross weight?

I once had to make a short approach in front of Laura Bush. Never got to see her as we had to wait in the hanger until she was out the airport gate.

I had this guy walk up to me on the ramp at FXE. We talked for a shot while. He looked at me like I was suspose to know who he was, and I did but just couldn't put a name on him. We said G'day and went our way. When I got to my car, a man got out of a white lemo, walked over to me and handed me a card and said Mr. Rogers is in concert tonight at the coliseum. He would like to say thank you by inviting you backstage. Just show this at the ticket office. The name on it was Kenny Rogers. I guess I did know him.

Stopped at TYS for a passenger one day and Vience Lumbardy(sp?) and Paul "Bear" Bryant climbed aboard. I knew who they were.
