While contemplating a "Celebrity Pilot's Suite" (or something like that) I
was just absent-mindedly searching the FAA database for movie stars, and
found this:
*******************************************
Name : JOLIE, ANGELINA
Airman's Address : 1990 S BUNDY DR
LOS ANGELES, CA, 90025-5240
FAA Region : Western/Pacific
Date of Medical : Jun, 2004
Class of Medical : 3
Expiration of Class 3 privileges : Jun, 2007
Airman Certificates : Student Pilot
: Private Pilot (foreign based)
Airplane Single Engine Land
*******************************************
Any idea what the "Private Pilot (foreign based)" is all about? Does
this mean she's certificated in other countries that our own FAA doesn't
recognize as legit?

I know Harrison Ford and Tom Cruise are pilots, but can you list any
others?

Anyone know how to get in touch with these folks? I presume the addresses
listed in the database really aren't where they live, but it would be fun
to have pictures of each celebrity pilot in the suite, preferably
autographed...

Any ideas?

It is a "Stearman," not a "Steerman."

I'm a big Coonts fan, but I have to wonder if he is well known enough
generally?
His "Cannibal Queen" Stearman adventure made a great story.
Anyone know if he still has it?

Last year, I saw a list of his aircraft. The Queen was not in the list. I don't
regard that as conclusive, but I'd bet he no longer owns it.

He doesn't - he now owns a Tri-Pacer,

Yep. Hangared at North Las Vegas.

Not to forget most PGA and NASCAR folks. Have to do some filtering
there because a few only own the airplanes, don't fly them.

Does Arnold Palmer still fly? According to one article, Palmer had 20,000
hours as of a couple years ago.

That's an incredible number of hours for someone who's not an airline
pilot. I wonder if the writer slipped in an extra zero.

Nope! Remember, he's been flying for going on 50 years and was flying
to/from tournaments as well as running several business enterprises for
about 45 of those years. Airline pilot's careers never last probably half
that long.

When Cessna brought out the X (10) model, he got #1. He also had a MD500 for
several years and did promo work for Cessna and MD.
