re: How many would recognize a celebrity on their flight?

Only time I’ve ever recognized a celebrity on a flight was once on flight back from Tucson, AZ. Sitting right across the isle from me was Kirk Herbstreet. I can’t remember the exact year but it had to be sometime around 2007-2009 if I remember correctly.

I was on a flight a few yrs ago with ‘Dorito Girl’ Ali Landry, who is orig from Breaux Bridge La… of course i didnt have the good luck to sit next to her.. also partied with her ex-husband Mario Lopez a couple times back in the late 90s .

I was on a flight with Darren Sproles when he was on the Saints. Recognizing him as an NFL player was challenging.

You ain't lying. It took us 5 minutes to confirm we were sitting near Donte Jackson and his mom a few years ago at restaurant by Tanger in Gonzales.
He is NOT 5'10.



Now it was easy to spot Cobi Jones years ago walking to terminal at DFW.

Ran into Big Show at the airport out where England AFB used to be. He wasn’t hard to recognize! Lol

Was peeing at a urinal in Atlanta airport, real tall guy steps uo to the stall next to me…I look over and it’s f*cking DR. J…I give him a “What’s up?”…he says “trying to piss”
I shook twice and left.

Saw David hassellhoff at LAX once. And Webster

Flew with Bill Cosby once.

Saw Urban Meyer in airport.

Willie Roaf (New Orleans Saints legendary Offensive Tackle for non-sports fans) boarded a SW flight (only coach seats) that I was already seated on. This was years ago before he got the big contracts after making All-Pro. He had two of his kids with him that were little at the time.

I didn't see him sitting since I was in front and he went toward back, but I assume he took all of a row with his kids so that he could fit. Very big dude.

Jeff Brantley when he was announcing on ESPN. He and I flew together on four different occasions. He remembered me after the first flight together and was always fun talking to him about baseball, especially the SEC. He is a super guy.
