Sinbad
I forgot about this thread...
Sinbad
UA 7222 ORF-IAD on 27 May
I was in 1A he was in 2A
He boarded fairly late and few knew he was there. He spent most of the 45 minute flight eating his brought-on-board yoghurt and apples. Very nice, chatted with the FA for a bit and told us all about his sister and mother's battles with breast cancer (he was wearing the bracelet or ribbon, didn't see it myself but the FA asked about it).
He then got himself lost and confused in the D gates at IAD, had to ask directions a couple of times.
He'd done a big show at the Patriot Festival in Norfolk the night before the flight, did a great job I'd heard so it was neat to be able to tell him how much folks enjoyed it.

eBay has a 2004 G550, what was she doing slumming it flying commercial?

I've seen 2 "celebs" in an airport, the Iron Sheik @EWR and Ron Jeremy @LAS. Not sure which airline either of them was on. And MRS. z was the one who recognized Ron Jeremy.

Chris Isaak yesterday SFO-BUR in 1C. He was flying down to host the EXTRA! TV show.
He must be remodeling his home or buying a new one. He was reading Architectural Digest and other home-design magazines, tearing out certain pages.

Saw Harrison Ford and Callista at Santa Monica Municipal airport . They were boarding a KingAir. No kids with 'em. She looked pretty good too. He seemed nice enough.
I was just hanging out at my buddy's hangar.
