Russell Wilson spots Army hero on flight, offers first-class 'thanks'

SEATTLE -- Is there anything Russell Wilson can't -- or won't -- do?

The star Seattle Seahawks quarterback is garnering national attention this morning for a move he reportedly pulled Wednesday on an Alaska Airlines flight headed back to Seattle.

According to the IBtimes, Wilson, travelling back to Seattle from an unknown destination, spotted an Army soldier on the plane headed back to a seat in coach. The Alaska Airlines' "Chief Football Officer" took it upon himself to upgrade the soldier, identified as Kane Bernas, to first-class.

The two shared a chat in first-class, and Kane later tweeted to Wilson, thanking him for the awesome upgrade.







Wilson, always a team player, also posted a picture of himself with members of the Alaska Airlines flight crew Wednesday.



Wilson is a frequent visitor at the Seattle Children's Hospital, and has been active in an anti-bullying campaign.

Russell freaking Wilson. (Swoon)
