Who have you flown? (Brag session)
G'day all,
No, its not a physics question to send you all insane again.
In your careers, who are some famous people you have had on your passenger manifest?
I'm interested to see who comes up!

Had Harry Butler of 'In the wild' in a C206 once.....
(slinks off with tail between legs......)
Well I thought it was noteworthy!!!
And once carted the Australian High Commisioner halfway around the Gulf Provinces of PNG in a BN2.
Oh Yes; and was once rostered to fly the then Prime Minister of PNG from Pom to Kerema in a C402. Did'nt happen 'though.
You only live twice. Once when
you're born. Once when
you've looked death in the face.

Famous People
My last 4 years of flying was as a Flight Instructor for Airbus Industrie based in Brunei as a pilot for the Sultan of Brunei. He was not just a passenger on his private A310 but he flew it from the left seat under instruction from myself and two other Airbus Instuctors . We not only carried him and lots of the Royal family but a great many celebs as well . Elton John , Tina Turner, Earth Wind and Fire & Billy Joel to name a few . There were also a lot of very famous international sportsman as well , these bought in for sports games as part of some of the Princes' "TEAM" . Games which the Princes always won of course ! The trophies were already engraved with the winners name ( The Princes ) long before the match even started.

Hey Wiz, didn't your airline deny Germaine Greer boarding not that long ago? She didn't have the correct ID and no one recognised her.

Isabella Rosellini, the entire senior crew of the ALP from OOL-MEL just prior to the last election. Spent an hour talking to Laurie Lawrence one night between SIN and ADL. What a nice bloke he is. Deborah Hutton on the flight deck a few years back (very down to earth). Sat beside Dannii Minogoue on the flight deck back in about '96- and I thought I was short!
