Man who flies in women's lingerie --and little else-- says he wants to make travel fun
Sun-Sentinel ^ | June 24, 2011 | Daniel Chang

His name is Howard, and he likes to fly while dressed in women's lingerie.

That's about all that is known of the mystery U.S. Airways passenger catapulted to international prominence this week via Internet blogs after he was photographed at Concourse E, Gate 9 of Fort Lauderdale-Hollywood International Airport on June 9 while waiting to board a flight to Phoenix.

Howard's distinguishing characteristics: He smiles with his mouth closed, and he was dressed in nothing more than blue women's lingerie, black stockings, high-heeled shoes and a tasteful, transparent white sweater. He accessorized with a black choker, and a wristwatch.

Greg Meyer, an airport spokesman, said there is no dress code that would prevent Howard or anyone else from flying in lingerie, as long as it does not compromise the safety of the flight or fellow passengers.

"There's not a lot we can say or do,'' Meyer said. "It's a very diverse community, and people come in all sorts of garb.''

The photograph of Howard, taken by a fellow passenger who said others had complained to the crew about him, sparked a mild controversy because just a few days later the same airline had another passenger removed from a flight for refusing the pilot's orders to pull up his sagging pants.

That passenger, 20-year-old Dashon Marman, was booked on suspicion of trespassing, battery and resisting arrest. He is a football player at the University of New Mexico.

I hear that he isn’t a tease either.

Saw this guy in the Phoenix airport in April. He was dressed in a black leather bra, black leather hotpants and over the knee black leather boots. It was frightening. All I could think was how much attention he must need. Everyone was staring. Very sad.

If he "wants to make travel fun," he should unfasten his seat belt for the duration of the flight and live dangerously. ;-)

Now, I hate looking at young men’s underwear, but I’d rather sit next to the football guy than the women’s lingerie guy. At least the football player is a man, I’m not sure what the blue bra and panties guy is, but that ain’t a man, baby. That’s a freak.

Compared to that, I would rather see a passenger in saggy pants.

“His name is Howard, and he likes to fly while dressed in women’s lingerie.”

Wasn’t this an Ed Wood movie?

Does Dan Chang, the reporter, sound a little obsessed?

"Greg Meyer, an airport spokesman, said there is no dress code"

There's your problem right there, Ace.

Lets all celebrate mental illness.

He’s just the president of the Weiner fan club. Great thing for the kiddies to see.

In a saner time he would be herded off to a rubber room or having his head candled at a local sanitarium.

The passengers should all refuse to board the plane if the perv is allowed to fly like that.

there is no way I would sit on a plane with the likes of him.....the common expectation is that people in public are clothed and I would demand my money back....

When did airplanes become flying insane asylums? Why do we put up with this?

The old days, when people dressed when they left the house:

I wonder what would happen if someone showed up in mail and a Knights Templar surcoat . . .

But that’s a picture from America when it was sane... before it devolved into the pathetic, degenerate cesspool that it has now become.

What could possibly be more fun than sitting next to some big, fat, hairy guy wearing women’s underwear?

An airline would be wise to have ten good looking gals on every flight as passengers dressed in lingerie.

Then the liberals would find issues with this.
