What is the story? What was the guy doing? Was there just a guy wearing an old uniform, and somebody took a picture, or was he trying to get into the cockpit or something?

I have no idea of what happened in this event other than what's posted in this thread but my impression is someone watched Catch Me if You Can and then got some ideas that were better left to the movies.

The guy in question posted on a FB group complaining about a hotel van driver. In the post he passed himself off as an AA pilot. Unknown if he also did while on the plane. There was a picture of him wearing an old(banned) uniform.

Ran into a guy dressed in a hodgepodge of AA/TWA uniform pieces back around 2010. Blazer from AA, tie from TWA, pilot hat, etc.

It didn’t really make any sense that he’d be at this particular FBO and talking about flying a Citation 650. Said hey and turned out he owned the jet, liked dressing up as a pilot when he flew and had a rated babysitter who was doing all the actual work regarding planning, etc.

Anyway, odd duck and curious if this was him.

With a mustache like that, he can fly my airplane anytime, license or not.

Honestly, he resembles at least 69% of the CA's I have flown with. I'd be none the wiser.
