If anyone's interested, he did a show about aviation, Flying Heavy Metal. Here's a link to the first episode, the others can be found on youtube via this one:

The documentary movie Flight666 is worth a watch too. I think they had a 757 for that tour.

I know they had a 757 for one of the tours. I'll have to give that a watch later.

We flew over one of these in mid air on our way to Dallas a couple of days . Does that count as spotting?

you didn't see nothing. Marsh gas or perhaps a weather balloon.

I remember being at a Chiefs game at Arrowhead a few years back. They did a fly over for the anthem. Part way through singing, the half of the crowd that could see what was coming went silent while the rest of us were "why did they stop singing?". Then it went overhead and we worked it out. Quiet they are not!
