And see things from a cockpit.

And He really wanted to do it so He made it happen and He really loved talked about this guy could talk for hours.

Odds guidelines that have -- now 85 and the way He said -- is well I'm not like Ruth Smith.

No they say it's not like John Travolta -- on the -- airstrip so really He could if you want.

I don't think he's quite -- Travolta's face -- But I you know I think -- it's -- the stuff -- that He loves being a part of an airline -- some expressed charter airlines you know when there was stranded travelers.

And in Egypt -- oh yeah I'm got.

Okay let's go -- ready they have that volcanic ash cloud and hang up.

And -- and some people that were still flying I read that this airline still -- sued him.

He flew to get me that I islanders out of these yet.

He volunteered for this I mean this is why our -- really really.

Well it did because I'll be honest I mean that the real star you know part of it was just amazing I was going through TSA security with Bruce Dickinson and He was showing me you know tricks and happy.

Wait wait wait CNN say where like uphill climb -- they had okay price for not like -- satellite.

The opposite thing I thought the TSA agents produced while all over him but they've been off the bat and that they got everybody Iceland was just is absolutely amazing I have not been before and it is just I can't wait to get back and what's more that.
