Frances Mcdormand
I sat opposite of Frances McDormand on a flt from LGA to CLT. She was with her agent (or what seemed to be agent) talking over a script so I didn't bother her. But I sure did want to get a picture :-) She is hysterical in Fargo.
He travels kind of disheveled, and from what I could tell, I was the only person, or one of few to recognize him, since he looked little like he does when he is on the air. I am a political junkie, so I watch Hardball every night. I did not speak with him.

A while back I was sitting in 1st class when a (AWA) FA opened a Coke that spewed all over this lady wearing white stockings. She didn’t move as she was sound asleep. But you could see the splatter on her legs. Found out from talking to the FA after that it was Madonna in cognito. She had on a scarf, wig and dark sunglasses.
Flying PHX to LA a lot we get the B list celebs.
Sat next to Tom Arnold this year, have also been on flights with Gary Coleman, Richard Simmons, Cheech Marin and all of Motley Crew, Kareem Abdul Jabar, Gene Hackman (not B list).
Before Linda died I also saw Sir Paul McCartney getting on a JFK bound flight in PHX once. Was shocked that he fle coach.
Oh, also had Producer Tim Burton and his wife Lisa Marie(?) on a flight once but I didn't know who they where until overhearing others talk about them.
I'm terrible when it comes to spotting celebrities. Usually my wife or a friend will have to lean over and tell me about a celebrity sighting or more often a celebrity sighting I missed. However I did have one that really did excite me in August of 2006.
CLT-EWR- John McEnroe
While I didn't see him on the plane, I ended up standing beside him at the baggage claim where we waited for about 45 minutes for our bags. Realizing he had been on the same flight and knowing that he had been at a tennis tournament that had just concluded in Charlotte, I started to chat with him about the tournament and complain about the wait in baggage claim. He didn't say a lot, but he was fairly nice, despite having to deal with the long wait and it being almost midnight.

Hmm, if McEnroe didn't get upset about the long wait for baggage, maybe we all need to relax a little?

Does the dog that Target uses as in its ads count as a celebrity?? If so, I saw him on a flight recently from BUR/PHX. Had his own seat in first class and everything. The dog was also wearing the painted on bullseye. The FA even showed me the manifest where the dog was listed as Dog, Target. I have to say the dog was better behaved than a few of the passengers on the flight.
Darryl "Chocolate Thunder" Dawkins - PHL-LAX
Donovan McNabb - in PHX Club and 3 or 4 times in F, PHL-PHX, PHX-PHL
AG Eric Holder - ROC-PHL, sat next to him, chatted a bit.
Bob Brown - Producer Fox Sports
Not terribly impressive.

I wasn't on the plane when this happened but I did fly US to get to ORD.
Staying at the W I'm in the elevator with Cheech Marin and he keeps looking over with that DYKWIA "look". I totally ignored him until we got to the 15th floor when I turned, smiled and said "Have a good evening, Mr Marin"
