Yao Ming, who I apparently missed during the entire flight. I guess he was somewhere behind me in the F cabin (mom and I had 1A/1K) because C on UA would probably a bit snug for him? Thank goodness that chest pass of the pillow across the aisle made it to my mom. :-)
Mom saw him walk by in the airport when I went to the bathroom after the flight, as did the Customs officers who were talking about seeing him when I was leaving.
I once saw him on the same sCO flight I was on in May 2006 (OGG-LAX). What a vertically superior human being! I first spotted him at the OGG preclearance line and was floored at how little I felt.
