Famous people seen (or even met) whilst flying or lounging

[Pushka]

Was this the SYD-ADL flight on Thurs night? I was on that one too!

Yes! Where were you?

I found this photo which was taken several years ago. Whilst not flying or lounging all concerned are interested in aviation.

Chuck Yeager is one of the most interesting people I have spoken to. His account of dogfights during WW2 was fantastic General Chuck Yeager | The Official Website

Quite correct

Kate Ceberano in a CBR-MEL flight. She was rather noisy in the lounge...my partner pointed her out to me after I started tutting at the commotion.

QF doesn't care about the commotion, they focus on important things like footwear

If she's noisy when she does get lounge access then one wonders the noise level when she's knocked back for wearing thongs.

QF743? I don't recall Maggie on my flight that night, but could be mistaken.

?
Was'nt she up for some sort of award, which may explain why she was a bit rowdy perhaps

In JAL F Lounge Haneda now awaiting connection with QF26. Nice lounge and food. Had a chat with Adam Liaw.



Not it sure why pic is upside down. I'm sure one of the mods can sort out for me.

Yup. Mistaken.

Maggie was in row 1. We were in row 2.

Lincoln Lewis (Son of the King Wally and TV/Movie "star") was on my flight from Darwin-Brisbane yesterday afternoon in 3F

Alison Whyte from Frontline/Satisfaction/Good Guys Bad Guys on a VA flight HBA-MEL.

On the return flight the next day, had children's entertainer "Mr Maker" in front of me at security and on the MEL-HBA leg.

Bumped into another AFFer in the MIA AC. It seems he was going to be on my flight to PTY.* It also turns out we were sitting next to each other.

On the flight there was a gentleman who had quite the security detail both at MIA and PTY. I am fairly sure it was the Vice President of Salvador, Oscar Ortiz.

The opening of the new Panama Canal is tomorrow (Sun) so there are quite a few dignitaries in town.

*Edit: I was originally on the flight the night before, but delays meant I was rebooked onto this one. So quite the coincidence.

When did you work out you were both AFFers or had you met previously?

I recognised him when I saw him in the lounge, as we had met previously.

You beat me to it - then again, I was either offline or suffering the equivalent of 1990's internet for 4 days in La Habana

I also encountered another AFF'er on the return PTY-MIA whilst queuing for immigration... it was brief (and the name escapes me) - but how amazing that you can be dining at The Olive Tree one month, and chatting in Miami a few months later.

Adam Devine (Pitch Perfect 1 and 2 and others) in the LAX F lounge now. Presumably travelling with me on the delayed QF12.

Bonus points to the person that sees or hears Paulen Hanson in the air or lounge.
