Flown:
Katie Couric - very nice
William Holbrooke, US Ambassador to the UN - Kept quiet, but not impolite
Jimmy Buffett. My old boss and Jimmy were good friends so we would fly with him in his Caravan when his pilots weren't around (usually they were somewhere else in the Citation, then Falcon, with his wife). When Jimmy was in the plane I was in the back while he and the boss flew the Caravan. The first time I met him, he thought I was a Parrott Head so he was cool - we chatted about flying and fishing. On all of the flights after that, when he knew I was just the hired help he was a prick - not even a hello.
Dennis Connor - Stars and Stripes America's Cup Captain. Cool guy.
Calvin Kleins ex-wife - I forget her first name but she is hot and very nice.
Leon Harris - CNN Anchorman. At the time he was a local news reporter in CT. I flew him to Martha's Vineyard the morning after JFK, Jr. went down. He was alright until we got there, then he started in with his stupid reporter questions. I politely told him that I had to take off immediately for another charter and didn't have time for an interview. That day, MVY was the busiest airport I had ever been to.
Seen:
Richard Gere
Mary Tyler Moore - I was waiting for a charter in TEB while she and her husband were waiting for their charter. MTM's dog jumped in my lap and she was very embarrassed and apologized. She was very nice and we chatted for a while.
Matthew Broderick - cool guy
James Brown
Sen. John McCain - Wasn't watching where he was walking in the FBO at LGA and bumped into me from behind, then looked at me like I stood in his way on purpose. I always thought he was a prick - now I know.
J. Lo and Puffy, Puff Daddy, P. Diddy (whatever his name is this week). They got on a helicopter in HTO going to NYC.
Ron Howard
Elle MacPherson - hot
That's all that I can remember for now.
