[quote] <hr></blockquote>Backstreet Boys Fly High
Kevin Richardson (29) and AJ McLean (22), singers with world-breaking pop sensation Backstreet Boys, astounded fellow passengers on their privately hired jet, when they both took control of the 767 during their 100 hour world tour.
Richardson is a budding amateur pilot who has taken a couple of flying lessons in the past and aims to gain a full license. "I fell in love with planes when I as six,' he confided. "A friend''s dad took us up in his two engine plane and I can remember feeling over-awed by the whole sensation. I still have an image of looking down and seeing my mum waving at me from the back yard."
Richardson describes flying as "a feeling of freedom" and spent the majority of all take offs and landings seated in the cockpit of the luxury jet. McLean on the other hand overcame a fear of heights to take his place in the captain's seat. "It's true I'm really scared of heights," he said after his achievement during the Rio de Janeiro to New York leg of the 26,000 trip to launch the group's new album Black & Blue. "But I did it all the same," he added excitedly. "I flew the plane!"
Band mate Brian Littrell joked that had he known McLean was momentarily in charge of the plane he would have taken precautionary safety measures. "I'd have packed myself a parachute if I'd know what AJ was up to," he quipped.
The award wining band, credited for selling an incredible total of 51 million plus albums in just four years, today completed their six continent dash. The trip has been hailed a 100% success as record numbers of fans turned out to greet the five singers in each stop along the way.
Looks like we have another budding singing pilot amongst us!
