I worked local repeaters from the jetway, just outside the plane door, and
met the pilot, who said he was a ham. He said he used to work 2 meters
when he wasa Fedex pilot, but he didn't give me permission to operate.  I
would think you might freak another passenger, who might think something
wierd was going on.
