My only brush with celebrity came at Sikorsky Mem'l in Bridgeport CT
when I worked there in operations. Christopher Walken flew out to his
house on Block Island (RI) in a chartered Seneca V.

If you thought he looked creepy on screen, you should see him in
person.


1979 Farrah Fawcett GKY Arlington TX
1980 Linda "Wonder Women" Carter LIT Little Rock AR

At 17 and a newly minted PPL this was what made flying great.

I was (Minnesota Gopher / Washington Redskins NFL - kicker) Chip Lomiller's
swimming teacher when I was in high school. That's it!

Forgot one:
Sally Struthers and I chatted at a party two years ago. She was in a show I
helped build.

One mo
Harrison Ford and Calista Flockhart said "Hi" to me as we both waited on the
curb [for different rides] at the Hilton during last year's OSH, or was it
two years ago? I looked non-threatening I suppose, since I was holding a bag
of melting ice at the time.

Burt Rutan last year at the Lindbergh Foundation Awards event at ANE. Eric
Lindbergh, too.

Roger McGuinn (The BYRDS) signed a CD for me after we chatted.

GREAT FREE music site ...Jose (Click the song names)

I listen using an iPod program download on my PC computer - works with fewer
glitches than most other formats.

OK, this thread has gone to a different level, so I get to say that I
had the whole group "The Association" come to my appartment after a
college concert. It was a dare and they said yes. I got the album
autographed and got H*** for the school interfering with their events.
Apparently they had an after concert event planned. This was back in 66
or 67.

Whoa! That's cool!

Didn't they make the songs "Windy" and "Cherish"?

Hey, dang it, that's mine! Ford and Flockhart were eating breakfast at
the table next to ours, while my 15 year old son had conniptions,
realizing he was sitting RIGHT NEXT to "Han Solo"! (And I wouldn't let
him ask for an autograph...)

Oh, and I got to chat with Brett Favre at the Green Bay FBO in '04,
while he was waiting for his pilot and plane... (And, again, my
then-14-year-old son had conniptions, cuz I wouldn't let him ask for an
autograph!)

Sorry Jim, but I don't see the point. If you're unfamiliar with the airport,
the name will likely be as meaningless to you as the identifier is. Plus, if
you're interested, you can instantly find the name, location, and
description just by googling the identifier.
