Guess who I carried on my plane today?

???

Hint one:

A Super Bowl winning Quarterback.

Hint two:

Flight from Cincinnati - Cleveland

If you guessed --------

Trent Dilfer

YOU WIN!!!!!

I said to him as he was trying to exit unnoticed, "See ya Trent." To which he looked up and said, "Bye." It was funny watching him trying really hard not to be noticed.

He officially passes Michael Chang as most famous athlete that I have carried.

That is all.

I guess it depends on who you ask. I have no idea who Michael Chang is. I'm not sure I've even heard his name before reading it in this thread.

Hammer755 High School Varsity Join Date: Jun 2001 Location: Houston, TX	I was on a flight with Randy Pfund out of OKC a few years back. I noticed him becuase of the giant NBA Championship ring on his finger, but didn't realize who it was until his ticket was run through the scanner just before mine and his last name popped up. IIRC, he was GM of the Heat at the time, but he was flying coach just a few rows ahead of me. I also met Jim Harrick at the airport in Pittsburgh. __________________ I failed Signature 101 class.

Draft Dodger Coordinator Join Date: Jan 2001 Location: Keene, NH	I flew to Tampa a few years ago for the NHL All-Star game and Jaromir Jagr and Martin Straka got on the plane when we stopped in Pittsburgh. Jagr sat behind me. I was wearing a Sens jersey, and Straka (a former Senator) gave me a really funny look. A year or so later, my wife and I flew to Scranton PA and changed planes in Philadelphia. Saw Franco Harris waiting in the terminal for his flight to State College. so, I guess the moral of the story is change planes in Pennsylvania. __________________ Mile High Hockey

Glengoyne Grizzled Veteran Join Date: Sep 2003 Location: Fresno, CA	I see Trent Dilfer around town quite a bit. Numerous baseball games...his seats are just a few rows behind mine, and actually at the Theatre once with his wife. I've always felt he was a class act, and by most all accounts he has the respect of everyone in the locker room. Oh I once flew with Boris Becker, Roger Craig damn near knocked me down once in the San Francisco Airport. We bumped shoulders heading opposite directions..and damn he was solid.

Funny thing was that he was my QB in eNFL this season, and lead the Bills to the playoffs again, despite leading the league in INT's. I wanted to say something about it to him.

ThunderingHERD College Benchwarmer Join Date: Oct 2000 Location: North Carolina	3 or 4 years ago, I was out of school for a while and got a sweet gig doing "security" for the suite level at the Lowes Motor Speedway during the races. Basically, we just stood at the stairwell occassionally. Anyway, I went to take a piss, and on the way back I see this tall, wide dude standing outside of the (I think) Coca Cola box. I get closer and I'm thinking "dang, that guy looks just like Troy Aikman." He's by himself, looks like he's waiting for someone else to come out. When I walk by him I kind of nod and say hey, he nods back. Because my brain wasn't at all on the lookout for any sort of celebrity (I live 20 minutes from there, and probably wouldn't recognize the nascar famous) it wasn't until the second that I passed him that my brain finally realized that it was, in fact, Troy Aikman. __________________ "I'm losing my edge--to better looking people... with better ideas... and more talent.
