How about a list of famous pilots....not pilots for majors or authors
but famous people who happen to be pilots.

We already have Harrison Ford and John Travolta.

My entry is guitarist Steve Morse who has played with everyone
from the Dixie Dregs to Manuel Barrueco (classical guitarist) to
Deep Purple and everyone in between. He's an ATP, private glider
and has an A&P certificate. when the Dixie Dregs got out of
their recording contract and they called it quits, he started
flying Twin Otters (???) commercially. And right out of college,
he was wrote off the cost of (I think) a C310 to fly the band around.
Apparently they couldn't afford the taxi's from teh airport to the gigs
but they/he had a plane. Now after winning best guitarist for 5 years
straight in Guitar Player magazine and touring the world too many times
to count, he has I think 4 airplanes. He also wrote a song for
one of the displays at the 100th anniversary of the Wright Brothers in
Kitty Hawk.

I took my PPL checkride on 12/17/03 (that's 2003, not 1903 ). For
"historical purposes," I took along one of his CD's along (also my
bike pedals since the Wrights were first bike mechanics). It's ok,
call it corny.

ok, what other famous GA pilots are there?
