Got upgraded to first many years ago on a flight from Denver to San Francisco. Sat next to Roger Maltbie, the NBC golf announcer. We talked a lot of golf and since I was picking up a rental car I only had one drink. Roger had someone picking him up and he had a lot more than one.

A few years back I was flying back from NYC to NO and boarding the plane, walk past Jonah Hill. He was flying coach - Jetblue, but still. We were getting our luggage at MSY and he's there getting his luggage off the carousel himself. He posed for a few pics and shot the shite with anybody who walked up to him. Class act. It wasn't long after he was nominated for an Oscar for Moneyball.

These two were on my flight from NOLA to Orlando back in 2000

But it was 2000 so they looked more like this

There happened to be a Britney Spears "Got Milk" ad in my seatback magazine. I was 18 and figured I had a shot to go say hey and get her autograph(aka PIIHB).

I was quickly cock blocked by the flight attendant(probably JT's orders, since he was clearly sweatin' my game). I was told "she was sleeping and shouldn't be disturbed." It was a LIE! I saw her look back at me, reaching out to me(she wanted me to PIIHB). JT then whispered something in her ear as she slowly turned back away with a sad look on her face. At that point, JT leaned out into the aisle, turned towards me, shook his head, smiled at me just like this and I swear to God he mouthed the words BYE BYE BYE...he did the little hand motion and everything.

Damn you JT.

David Robinson- sat next to him. Nicest guy ever. Weird that it was on a SWA flight

Lynard skynard... Weird because I got upgraded to 1st class and they sat in coach

Mad Mike from MTV's Pimp My Ride... Weird because most random "celebrity"

Rode on a Shuttle Bus sitting next to Ron Silver, the actor.

Eta...Oh and sat in the row behind Jenna Haze once too.

I was on a flight with secret service and Jimmy Carter from ATL to Ft Lauderdale a few years ago. He came through and shook every ones hand.

I made sure my wallet was still in my pocket once he passed me by.

I sat directly across the aisle from Peyton Manning. He is a huge guy. Much bigger than one would think. It was so bad on the flight that the flight attendant ended up standing in the aisle and wouldn't let people come up to the front of the plane after ten or so people crowded up there for autographs right after takeoff. He was completely gracious and signed every one even though he was trying to work on something on his laptop.

BTW, for the guy who commented on JT. I know someone who met him and said the guy is a COMPLETE dick. Not normal celeb aloof but really an a-hole.
