Bruce Dickinson, lead singer of Iron Maiden is an airline pilot (now
THAT's
a career change!)

That ROCKS!!!


That's a hoot. My brother-in-law played guitar with a very large number of
very edgy Bay Area punk rock bands, and he now flies 767s, albeit for UPS.
The boxes don't care but management did force him to shave and get a
haircut. So he kinda stands out in some of the places he still hangs out at.

-cwk.

but it would be fun to have pictures of each celebrity pilot in the
suite, preferably autographed...

Any ideas?

yes, there are better hobbies than stalking celebrities, flying
for instance :-)

Asking for an autographed picture of a celebrity is now considered
"stalking"?

Geez. I still have my autographed picture of the Beatles, circa 1965, that
I got just by writing them a fan letter. I was 7 years old.

Times have changed, I guess...

Guard. Boxcar flew B-36s, B-39 Tankers, Recons, Bombers, and KC-97s
and C-5As.

"B-39 tankers"????

Actually my father (64) says he doesn't care much for her type. "I don't
like women who look like they could beat me up" is how he puts it. Nicole
Kidman is more his style. I think she looks like she was CNC-milled out of
a
block of aluminum and if you touch her you might get freezer burn. I
suspect
neither of us would kick either of them out of bed for eating cookies.

Now THAT would be a movie...starring Angelina Jolie *and* Nicole Kidman...

They must have meant B-29 tankers.

George W. couldn't ever fly without busting a TFR.

Which were, I think, designated as KB-50s?

Trying to keep up but appears I'm missing a step here.

No -- the B-50 was, essentially, an upgraded B-29, with R-4360s in place
of R-3350s.

Irrelevnt arguments. A list of citations written by non-aviators [PR flacks

you feel more linguistically comfortable as part of that group, by all means
carry on.
