All great stories…here is the real question…did any of the celebs ask to get some yoke/stick time? How'd you handle that?

He signed a t-shirt and a basketball for me, so go figure.

Big aviation nut and a really cool guy.
Shoud've called him "Captain Ron" haha, there's not one movie that he did that isn't good. I've had KC & The Sunshine Band, and Marcus Lutrell.

Had a DH on DAL years ago to LGA. Waiting to board w/ my crew I kept looking at this tall black dude and felt he looked very familiar. Realized it was Julius Erving (aka Dr J). Boarded before passengers and took our seats in row 35, way in the back lol. Flight had a delay so I was BS'g w/ the FAs when the Capt & FO came back to BS. Capt was cool. Told them that Dr J would be on the flight.

So later enroute, a FA comes and tells me a lady sitting across the aisle from Dr J asked "Bill Russell" (that's who she thought it was & he played along) for his autograph, so Dr J signs it "Bill Russell". She probably thinks to this day it was Russell.

Flew a Brasilia for a famous NASCAR driver and I let him takeoff and fly the entire flight, and land. Did a great job. Well experienced pilot also, recips, TPs, and jets that he had owned and flown.

Flew Charles Barkley last year. Was very nice and respectful. Even met with some kids before our departure. (related to the planes owner)
