neat thread. i do get numbers for famous / wealthy folks that own /fly our aircraft (Gulfstream) , but i would not dare bother them unless its a business or aircraft related matter. many of the people i have met have been very cool to meet and talk to. only a very few have been difficult, and given the stress they can be under, i can understand them being a bit short with the guys who support and work on the aircraft. we are just "hired help" i guess, and with a $MM aircraft, i bet they have more important things to worry about !
I spent more evenings than I can count listening to Al, and I was usually under the influence of something. Elegant Gypsy was one of my favorite albums.
