George Strait
Same here. Lafayette airport FBO. He did a concert the previous night and took a yellow cab to the FBO by himself. Cab driver obviously didn’t know who he was, as he pops the trunk and George grabs his bag out of it. I said hello and shook his hand and offered to carry his bag but he said he had it. Walked inside with him and talked for a few minutes with him and his pilots. Very nice and down to earth guy.

I worked for airline through the 80s-90s and met and shook hands with quite a few famous folks but my top experiences were the ones below.

Muhammad Ali at CVG - 3 different times I preboarded him and his wife and escorted them onto the plane before any other passengers. One of those times he showed me a magic trick. All of these times he signed his autograph on a bag tag for me.

Cindy Crawford at CVG - same as above preboarding before anyone and signed autograph

Ace Frehley at CVG - saw him coming through concourse carrying LP guitar case. This was 1990, not a soul in the airport knew who he was without makeup. Talked to him for about 15 minutes while he waited to board flight.

Nicko McBrain - twice in 1988 in Huntington WV HTS airport - he married a girl from my hometown. No one knew who he was accept me. He was very polite and he talked with me about the area while he waited on his flights.

Donald J Trump 2 months before he came down the escalator.

Gale Sayers and Ray Nitschke were talking outside the press conference making the NFL 75 announcement. Walked up and shook both of their hands. Have a picture with them holding the 75th anniversary ball. That ball was eventually signed by Reggie White and is sitting on my closet.

Lou Ferigno. I've mentioned this before but somehow my senior citizen mom is friends with him. One day I come over and Ferigno and my stepdad are just hanging out in the living room. My mom knew he was an actor but didn't have a clue about anything he was in. And had no idea he was the the hulk.

Denzel Washington, Forest Whitaker, tons of high-profile politicians, Les Miles, Joe the Goat Burrow.

Also was very close to the Queen of England and entire royal family when I was 15, but didn't shake any of their hands.
