View Full Version : Celebrity Planes Sort of OT

This is just a curiosity question.  I was reading an article about Angelina 
Jolie, the fact that she was a pilot was a pretty big part of the article, 
they also pointed out that she owns her own plane ( Cirrus SR22 ).
They had a picture of her flying the plane, and in the picture you could see 
the panel, with the N number on the plane.  Out of curiosity I did a lookup 
on the N number, it shows the plane as being registered to Cirrus aircraft, 
with an N number change pending.
Would it show up this way if she was leasing the plane, or is Cirrus just 
letting her use the plane? Or maybe they Photoshopped the N number in the 
picture so people with too much time on their hands over the holidays would 
not look it up :-)
What do you guys think....

I saw her on the Tonight show a year or so ago, and she was talking about
how she is learning how to fly.  However, I seem to remember reading
relatively recently that she is giving it up as being to dangerous now that
she is a mom.

I agree that being a mom is very dangerous!  :-)

Statistically speaking, every mom dies eventually.

Naturally it's a SR22.

Well, she's a PP now. She flew from (near) Vienna to Paris I think last 
summer with an instructor and her hubby on board. In a C172, IIRC.
Hope this cut-'n-paste job turns out all right:

Oh yeah? Not counting yourself, would you care to offer any proof for 
that statement? 'Cause if you don't, you're lying again - like usual.
Two parts need to be proven:
a. that Angelina Jolie is a dilettant pilot.
b. that Cirrus aircraft do indeed attract dilettantes.
On the way, define dilettante and explain what in the world would 
qualify you to judge this, except for your obvious dilettantism (?) in 
all things aviation.
