Ran into Milo Yiannopoulas at Washington Dulles over a year ago at baggage claim before he got banned from Twitter and gained notoriety. He was a nobody to most. I knew who he was because of his old YouTube videos making fun of feminists.
He's quite tall. I wanted a pic, but he looked preoccupied with friends. I don't believe in hounding famous people for pics. If it happens it happens.

I saw JaMarcus Russell at the airport last week. He got pissed off when I walked through where he just mopped.

I found myself walking next to Lawrence Taylor at the Vegas airport. The dude is short and wide. He ain't 6'3" like it says online, closer to 6 foot.
A lot of people lose height as they age. He probably was 6'3" or close to it during his playing days. My dad has lost close to 3 inches in height. Aging spine, loss of bone density and muscle can cause you to lose a few inches of height over the years.

I worked for a regional carrier in the mid 90s, moved around a little bit, flew a lot, met quite a few famous people, nobody huge.
DFW- Bubba Smith, talked for a good while, he was waiting on a flight to Beaumont to watch his nephew in a playoff game.
ATL - same flight as Coolio once. Same flight as Richard Simmons once, was dressed in his little outfit he wears on TV.
Macon, Ga -
Bernie Mac, very nice guy
Fog Hat, gave us a couple boxes of memorabilia, didn't want to pay excess baggage
BTO, they were cool, talked freely with people
George Clinton and P Funk, George was cool, aka high as a kite, band was a bunch of a-holes
Ft Walton-
Bob Hope's daughter, must have been 80, Bob was still alive at the time
Jay Thomas, nice guy, ran in to him a few years later at Jobe's Cafe down town Baton Rouge, and then again a few years after that in the bathroom at MSY, pretty sure he thinks I'm a creeper now
Skip Bertman, was a grumpy old fart, a bit of let down being he was the one I was most excited to meet
LFT- Kevin Faulk, expediting some papers to the Carolinas somewhere, was just before draft, thought I had an inside scoop, obviously I didn't
Robert Duval- no interaction, but seemed cool
Lots of local celebrities around Lafayette, one being Rob Perillo showing up for a flight during a fog delay, told him I didn't want to hear any complaining about the fog from him, haha!
I know there were more, all I can think of at the moment

Atlanta airport, rushing to catch a connecting flight, round a corner and literally run smack into and almost bump foreheads with this chick. We both apologized and continued on. 
For you youngsters, that's Niki Taylor. She was a supermodel in the 00's.

Phil Jackson, then coach of Bulls during their heyday, in the Lafayette airport one night. There were 2 people there. Him and me. He was in town for a funeral of an old friend or player I forget.

Brennan Frasier cut in the security line at LaGuardia, literally right in front of me. He was hung over (was 5:45am on a Monday). frick The Mummy!
Not really famous, but known for her stank... Sheila Jacson Lee sat in first class one row behind me on an LGA-IAH flight. She had, literally, six carry-on's, and half of them were grocery sacks. She was all stanky too.
Richard Quest (CNN International / BBC) getting on the train to Amsterdam Centraal at AMS. We talked a bit, interesting dude.

I met Bryan Batt (Salvatore, gay guy they fired) from Mad Men in NOLA. He actually lives and runs a business in New Orleans. Nice guy.

Shook hands with Gen. Chuck Yeager at a gate in San Antonio.
Met Teri Hatcher in ATL when she asked me for directions to a terminal (I had on my pilot uniform).
Sat next to Justin Vincent from Pittsburgh to Houston. We talked alot of football. Nice guy.
Sat next to Marsha Mason in 1st class from IAH-JFK. I knew she was famous but couldn't recall her name, so I complemented her on her boots (think they were croc) and introduced myself. She said, "Nice to meet you, I'm Marsha." I gave her this look like "Wait?" Said, "You're an actress right?" She said yes. I then had to ask her what movie she was famous for. "The Goodbye Girl with Woody Allen." Me, "Oh yeah. I haven't seen that one."
Sat next to sportswriter Rick Reilly on a short flight. Nice guy.

Saw Gene Stallings and William Sessions (former FBI director) in DFW Airport in the same night.
Old Gene was taller than I thought he'd be... and was wearing high-heeled roach-killer pointy-toed boots, making him look even bigger.

Not at the airport. But on Royal St, Richard Simmons went from asking how drunk I was, to crying, to asking me the good jazz clubs for him to check out.
You must be ugly.
