Sitting next to a military guy on a plane who asked me “What is your favorite plane?” Have no idea why I replied “an F16”.
He reached in his pocket and handed me an F16 pin, I treasure it! He was an F16 pilot!!!!

Here’s the backstory.
I was listening to Rush one day at work. Mid 1990’s. A co worker came in and heard it. He told me his best friend was Rush’s producer.
Yea right. Prove it. Get me an autographed photo with my name on it.
He picked up the phone and two days later I got a Fed Ex package.
*****Cal Ripken didn’t miss a flight for 2,131 flights…****
Before boarding, all the passengers were screaming: “It’s Cal Ripkin” When I got on board, I told the pilot I thought he was the most important guy on the plane. Poor Cal looked at me = like ‘what did I do?’
LOL...
