Not to be pissy, but, GUEST,meself, @ 7:29PM, 02 Aug. Perhaps you misunderstood. The fellow that happened to is a New Brunswicker who has never been on CBC Radio.

Here is another story from that day which shows the nature of the man, as mentioned many times already in this thread. I asked Tommy why he and Liam spent the night in the airport. I was staying at the Deer Lake Motel not far away and it wasn't full up. He replied that they had arrived very late after playing in Corner Brook and decided to go straight to the airport because of all the gear (there was a lot of gear). Since somebody had to keep an eye on the instruments and equipment, he let "the lads" off at the motel and he and Liam went on to the airport. A gentleman indeed.

Hehehe... minds me of what happened a bit later (this was at about 9AM and their flight was at about 2PM.) Word quickly got around, as it would, that Tommy and Liam were at the airport and there was quite a crowd in no time. The commissionaire (airport security) suggested the gear would be safer on the ramp and that was done. After the gear was brought airside, Tommy asked one of "the lads", I assume the road manager, "What are those?", while pointing at a number of aircraft in front of a nearby hangar. "Planes." The next question was, "I wonder if any are for hire?" It was done... fairly quickly.
