Willie Nelson was on my JFK-DFW flight 2 weeks ago--sitting across from me and I didn't realize it until we were getting off the plane!

Walt "Clyde" Frazier who is a former hall of fame basketball player for the NY Knicks was on our flight from SJU-JFK in late December 07. While in SJU waiting for our flight we enjoyed talking to him about how terrible the NY Knicks are this season and he completely agreed. He was wearing a knicks baseball cap and sitting in 1B. He seemed like a very open and friendly person.

D'oh. Of all the listings in AAgent's post, this was the only person I wanted to comment about, and was going to say exactly the same thing (having seen her up close backstage at a Hole show several years ago). Scrolled down to find your post ^
Cheers.

Henry Cisneros in 3B yesterday SAT-DFW. I was 3A. Had to laugh inside when I saw him reading an article about Spitzer's trouble.

As I was boarding a bit late with group 1 (I was in first and missed the preboard) for STL to LGA today special services brought an older gentleman to the front of the line. There was a young man carrying two guitar cases with him but the young man didnt board with him.
As we were going down the jetway another man said he heard that the older man was a famous musician. He said he didnt know about being famous but he was a musician. The younger man asked what instrument he played and the older man replied "I play some guitar". Finally the younger man asked him his name and he replied "Chuck Berry". I was stunned, I ended up sitting next to him in first. He was going to play in Paris. I didnt bother him but after we landed I thanked him for all of the music over the years, he thanked me and reached out and shook my hand.

Jocelyn Wildenstein, AA 118, 9 March, 3A...I was in 2D and didn't notice her until we deplaned. She really does look like a cat.

Sat next to David Alan Grier on 3/12 LAX-ORD. Used to love him on In Living Color. Quiet guy, kept to himself until he offered me his nuts when the FA was handing out cookies.
