Later, flying for Delta, had Larry Bird (Boston Celtics) on board going BOS to Bermuda, he refused to sign a Celtics hat for a 10 year old kid when I pointed him out to the kid. I told the F/A's to spit in his drink for me, they said, "Oh, yeah, he's always an azzhole to his fans."

Flew Kurt Russell up to YYZ and back for the film fest and a movie premiere this year. Easily one of the nicest pax I have flown. Started talking airplanes and flying with him before departure and he was up near the cockpit just after departure chatting us up for the first hour or so of the flight talking about the different planes he's owned/flown over the years and asking us about the planes we've flown. Big aviation nut and a really cool guy.

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.
