There's a listing for a Thomas C Mapother, Private Pilot ASEL. Must be his
father or grandfather, this certificate was issued in 1947.

It wouldn't surprise me if the "real" Tom Cruise opted to not be listed
publicly.



He's not in the database at landings.


His real name may not be Tom Cruise.


It's Thomas Cruise Mapother IV

YOU!?!?! you should have been there!

I turned around and saw him and thought "Is that Hoot Gibson???". Then the
more I listened to him talk and looked at him (you know, those passing
glances from 3 ft away lol).

He was there with his 14 yr old kid. His kid thought it was cool that I
recognized his dad. He honestly didn't think that dad did anything
special.....lol

I was standing in line for a KISS reunion concert a few years back in
Nashville. Turned around and standing right behind me was Hoot Gibson

(at
the time he'd just retired from the Astronaut Corps).


Having a tough time picturing Hoot Gibson at a KISS concert.

I didn't think you could "opt out" totally? I was under the impression that
you could only omit your social security number, for security reasons.

You can. I got a postcard from the FAA about three years ago describing how to
get your listing out of the database. There was some sort of lawsuit about invasion
of privacy. They tried to actually get the FAA to make the database private, but
the courts ruled simply to allow individuals to restrict their own entries.

Three years? Hell, our state DMV only did it last year. And they had to be
dragged, kicking and screaming, to do it then.

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). He was doing
some filming on the UW Campus that night, and there were about 4 camera guys
in his entourage. I had only recognized him because I saw an E channel
story about him the night before...

Others around MSN said they used to see Chris Farley often, back when he was
alive and well. (His hometown was Madison)

The occasional celebrity drops by N07, which is strange for such a small
airport. Go into the restaurant and you'll see the pictures. In recent
history:

- Harrison Ford dropped by while preparing for 6 days, 7 nights (he also
trained at Andover for that I believe).
- A scene from the Sopranos was filmed on the field, several pictures in one
of the FBOs I believe.

cheers,
mark
