In the 80s co-owned a part 135 executive charter and pilot services operation. I once flew a well known TV news anchor. He got upset when I delayed the return flight due to weather and demanded to speak to the company owner. It was fun to see his face when I handed him a business card.


I used to provide backup pilot services to a celebrity that owned a Lear 36. He was the most considerate person to pilots I've ever seen. He would set us up in the same hotel and room class as he was in (usually a mini-suite), and he would take us out to dinner to nice restaurants. Best of all, whenever we were somewhere for a few days, he would tell us to rent a car on his nickel and go see the local sights. He just asked that we checked back with him daily in case his departure plans had changed.
