I had Mr. Nielsen onboard a few of my flights. He'd always stick his head in the cockpit and make some funny remark like "I want you to know we're all counting on you." I replied, "yes, but I had the fish...." which brought a real smile to his face.

Years ago in ORD sitting at the gate waiting to button up and push when Mr. Nielson poked his head in the cockpit door and delivered the "we're all counting on you" line. We cracked heads turning around to talk with him. Great person, funny actor.

Tailwinds Doctor, you brought many laughs to many lives!

Leslie Nielson dead at 84. Probably the most quoted movie in our industry. We'll miss you...

and don't call me Shirley.........

He will be missed, think his family would want a hundred thousand or so airline pilots showing up to the funeral? Now that would be a tribute to all the late night laughs he provided us.

Midwest F/As always said he was a class act. And , of course, he would stop by the cockpit and utter the infamous "I just want you to know, we're all counting on you!"
