I only recognize about 1 in 20 of the "Famous" pilots listed in this thread.
Is it wrong to get a kind of perverse pleasure when you meet these supposed famous people and you havn't got a breeze who they are, then watching their agitation building until they feel obliged to tell you that they were in a tabloid paper once for being a minor C list celeb?
Harrison Ford crashed his 407 somewhere in L.A I think,
He maybe able to fly a Millenium Falcon, but flying a heli is a far more difficult beat to tame.
