One of the perks of flying business a/c to me are the celebrities at the FBO's. I have never approached them because I respect their privacy and understand that's why they are using private aircraft. Check out the kitchen area in the YZZ Landmark for a bunch of photos of celebs who have been through that FBO

Thats strange, Huffington always seems so reasonable on msnbc

Like this thread! Had a bunch of experiences in a former life, but mostly vanilla stories. Thanks for sharing.

Nice! I never met the guy but from what I hear he was a good celeb to be flying.

Have had many great celebrities on board through the years, all have been great. The best story I've heard was from a captain that had Leslie Nielsen on board. He apparently made his entrance to the cockpit with those famous words, and I was told that he did this on many flights since it was such a hit.

Bieber?s pilots had to wear oxygen masks to block the weed | Page Six

If this is true then wow! Who knows, not sure how reliable "Pagesix" is. Not completely unbelievable though.

Pilots should've diverted, tagged him for endangering the crew, get him on federal charges. Get this kid in jail before he kills himself or someone else.

Where do you propose they divert to? The flight was under an hour and they had to clear customs. Seems to me they landed at the closest practical airport.
