This is a great post by Mariah about her encounter with Katee Sackhoff onboard an Alaskan Airlines flight:
Our flight ended up being delayed, and I spent all my time playing cards on my dad's laptop. I didn't look around at all. D'oh! But finally we boarded, and this is where it gets good. I'm tired, I'm bored, and I'm looking for my seat, row 21. I look down the aisle and see a girl with blonde hair, so of course I think, "haha, she looks like Starbuck.". But I think that about a lot of blonde people. But then I looked at her again and thought, no, she really looks like Starbuck. I look down at her arm, and there is the tatoo that all the fans know about. OMG. It really IS HER!!
I passed her to put my bag up above, and, in shock, sit behind her. I leaned to my mom, and told her, "OMG!OMG! It's Katee Sackhoff!!! It's Starbuck!!!!". This makes sense, because she lives in LA, and she's from Portland, so she would be going home to visit her parents. But OMG. I was in so much shock. I suddenly scrambled in my bag for a pad of paper and a pen. I had to ask her! I leaned over her shoulder and went:
"Excuse me... uh, are you Katee Sackhoff??"
"Yeah."
It is a great post... with photo.
Being that I was born and raised in Alaska, I was happy to see Alaskan airlines getting some patronage from the BSG elite! :)
what a lucky girl! :)
