Interesting point. I met the captain of the England Rugby team in my local
pub (he is also captain of the Leicester Foxes professional rugy team).
Now, I'm not a sports fan, much less a rugby fan, so I wouldn't have known
this guy from a hole in the ground. I just chatted to him as he waited for
a drink at the bar. Asked him what he did for a living. After a short
pause and blank look, he told me he played rugby (at which point I lost
interest, to be frank), but we chatted a bit about that for a couple of
minutes. it wasn't until later in the week that I saw a national paper that
I recognized who he, and 3 of his mates, were.

I think he was distinctly unimpressed that I wasn't impressed. i still
kinda chuckle about that.

How often do you guys see celebrities, or otherwise famous people at
your
FBO? A few months ago, I was at MSN, and saw a Gulfstream pull up and
it
ended up being Joe Francis (Girls Gone Wild video founder).

One person's celeb is another's "who is that?". I wouldn't know Joe
Francis
from a hole.

But isn't it kind of funny how you know when you see some people that they
are anticipating being recognized because of some level of celeb status.
But when you don't have a clue you can sometimes sense a bit of regret
mixed with relief on their part.
