I just saw a video the other day with President Obama meeting the pilot of Air Force One This brought up the question: What celebrity or fictional character would you hire as the pilot of Air Force One and why?

Chesley Shellenberger would top my list!
Ponyta would be my first choice for its radiant hair.
I would definitely choose John Travolta. He has been a pilot for many years and he is rated on multi-engine jet aircraft all the way up to Boeing 707’s and I think Boeing 747’s too which is what Air Force One is.
Courtesy of Wikipedia:
Travolta is a certified pilot and owns five aircraft, including an ex-Australian Boeing 707–138 airliner. The plane bears the name Jett Clipper Ella in honor of his children. Pan American World Airways was a large operator of the Boeing 707 and used Clipper in its names. The 707 aircraft bears the marks of Qantas, as Travolta acts as an official goodwill ambassador for the airline wherever he flies. His $4.9 million estate in the Jumbolair subdivision in Ocala, Florida, is situated on Greystone Airport with its own runway and taxiway right to his front door.
Personally I think I’d get the steward from the movie “Air Force One” who dies at near the end if you know who I’m talking about just because I like him in the movie.
Anyways, some great answers so far. Keep it up!
Captain Clarence Oveur as played by Peter Graves in that movie classic Airplane.
Roger, Roger.
Over, Oveur
Captain Keith of Voltron.
He commands a fleet of robot lions and crew. I think he can handle Air Force One.
If I couldn’t get him, the Doctor would be next on my list!
@SuperMouse He would have died if it wasnt for Otto though. lol
What about God?
Oh, yeah. He’s just a co-pilot.
@uberbatman – excellent point… We also need to consider Ted Stryker’s heroism. Maybe he needs a “dream team” of sorts: Otto, Oveur, and Stryker.
Absolutely – Chesley Shellenberger
Check clearance, Clarence. Check air vector, Victor.
@ astrochuck – Blame my senioritus for the mistake but we still were on the same track. (And I got there first.)
not that it’s a competition
I didn’t notice that. So you did. Okay, now it’s ON!
Isn’t it obvious? Chuck Norris!
Isn’t he somewhere French kissing Mike Huckabee?
Mike’s a bottom, you can tell.
Spock can’t pilot! That’s Sulu’s job!
My God! What rock have you been living under?
Ozzy Osborne if I couldn’t get Yoda…
Osama Bin Laden?
ok ok just kidding.
In theory, you want someone like Bruce Willis. But in reality, the only celebrity who I know for a fact can fly a plane is John Travolta.
Okay, Sulu can be pilot, Spock can be my Secretary of State
if still with us, “John Belushi”
you forgot GW . He’s a pilot, EH?
