We've had Danny Glover in coach and Prince in 1st. Danny wasn't really happy about having any pictures taken. Prince seemed like any normal person except very short. lol

Around '05 we were one of the first to board our flight from MSP to LAX. We were in the first row of coach and as we were boarding, we were held up by a shorter guy trying to cram an overstuffed bag into the first class overhead bin. I was thinking "what an idiot". The flight attendant helped him cram it in and he sat down. My husband asked if I knew who it was and I say yah, an idiot. He said it was Henry Winkler (the Fonz). It was funny watching people doing a double take as they walked down the aisle. A lot of people say 'ayyyyyyy!' as they walked by (original, huh?).
When we exited the plane, Henry got up, grabbed a very slender hanging bag from the overhead and exited the plane. The overstuffed bag belonged to a young woman in FC and he had just stuffed the bag up there to help her out. We followed him through the airport and he ended up walking by himself over to the parking garage with his small carryon. He looked pretty good for a guy who was a 'star' in the 70's.

In 2012, I was on a CRJ from MSP to JFK on my way to DUB and ended up sitting next to the trumpet player from Reel Big Fish, with his band mates scattered throughout the small plane. I didn't know who they were, but it did impress some young 20-somethings who knew of them. He was an interesting guy to talk to.

Funny Story this morning for me.
I was flying DCA-SLC and was sitting in 2D. Former Utah Senator Bob Bennett came on and sat in 1D. Everybody was being very deferential, addressing him as Senator and not Sir. After breakfast was served he reclined allll the way back and fell asleep, butI still had my tray out while drinking coffee. This was an A320, and the tray design prevented me from putting it in the armrest when he reclined that far back. I was stuck in my seat!
Flight Attendant awkwardly but kindly woke him up so I could put the tray away.
