We get to see Big Ten (and other) football and basketball coaches regularly.
Most of these guys make more than a mil a year (not counting Nike endorsements), and travel with an entourage like rock stars. We met C. Everett Koop, former "Doctor General" (or whatever they're called) of the U.S., at the airport. He's just as funny looking in person as he was on TV. A couple of years ago we waited over an hour in the Warbird Section at Oshkosh, because the crowd was abuzz with word that Tom Cruise was coming in his P-51 Mustang. My son (age 10 at the time, and a HUGE "Top Gun" fan) just about cried when we finally gave up and left -- it was, of course, nothing but a false rumor. -- Jay Honeck Iowa City, IA Pathfinder N56993 www.AlexisParkInn.com "Your Aviation Destination"

Jay,
Tom Cruise was coming in his P-51 Mustang. Is he even a pilot? -- Thomas Borchert (EDDH)

He's not in the database at landings. His real name may not be Tom Cruise. According to interviews I've seen, he *is* a pilot. His real name is "Thomas Cruise Maphother IV" (Source: http://www.the-movie-times.com/thrsd...s.mv?tomcruise ) Nothing under that name at www.Landings.com though... -- Jay Honeck Iowa City, IA Pathfinder N56993 www.AlexisParkInn.com "Your Aviation Destination"

There's a listing for a Thomas C Mapother, Private Pilot ASEL. Must be his
father or grandfather, this certificate was issued in 1947. It wouldn't surprise me if the "real" Tom Cruise opted to not be listed publicly. He's not in the database at landings. His real name may not be Tom Cruise. It's Thomas Cruise Mapother IV

publicly. I didn't think you could "opt out" totally? I was under the impression that you could only omit your social security number, for security reasons. -- Jay Honeck Iowa City, IA Pathfinder N56993 www.AlexisParkInn.com "Your Aviation Destination"
