I travel by airline quite a bit for business and occasional personal trips. Once in awhile I happen to spot a celebrity on the same flight. So I thought I’d mention these sightings in a blog category. This past week my wife and I flew down on Southwest Airlines to Austin for a short vacation in San Antonio and Austin. As we were boarding the first flight, Derrick Johnson, Kansas City Chiefs linebacker, queued up right next to us. At first I wasn’t sure who it was but I remembered a picture of him and after we got back I compared my memory to online pictures and it was him. He flew on the various (3) legs to Austin with us. I didn’t approach him or say anything to him since I wasn’t 100% at the time. He was on the phone quite a bit during the layovers and carried a tennis ball that he bounced around while waiting for the flights. He seemed like an alright guy … has to be to be flying Soutwest Airlines!
