Celebrity Pilots

Wow! Now I can stalk her, too!
Weeee . . .
Don't forget Tom Daschle is a pilot.
And so is this guy who lives down the street and knows
a guy who once saw another person on an elevator who was
an extra in a movie . . .he's a bona fide CEEEE-LEB-RITY!

Of course, Morgan Freeman is temporarily "not" a pilot after that little
altitude-change mistake he made.

The real question? How many celebs are mile-high club members!?!?!

It's fun to see which "celebs" are bright enough to get a pilot's license. . .

Clint Eastwood is a helicopter pilot.
Of course, *I* am a pilot. :-)

I chatted with him in Branson MO as he was getting training in his Barron.

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?

Mickey still lives here in the Houston area and bases his Baron out of
LaPorte (T41). I've passed him in the air once or twice during his
commute from Branson to Houston.

Speaking of country singers who are pilots. add Kris Kristofferson,
helicopter
pilot.

Rod Machado's "Private Pilot Handbook" has a long list of celebs with
pilots licenses (certificates, if you're one of the picky) on the cover.

It is not a question of picky. A certificate is what it is. Not a permit,
license, pass, ticket, or rating. A certificate.

The FAA uses "certificate" and "license" essentially interchangably in
various publications...

Good point Joe.
Besides, a certificate is a "...written or printed statement testifying
to a fact, qualification..." and a license is "a formal permission to do
something; especially, authorization by law to do some specified thing..."
[Webster's Unabridged]
As in, the airman's certificate is a pilot's license to fly. The license
may or may not be a document.
In other words, I have a pilot's license granted by my airman's
certificate.
Some Guys just need to get over it.

I think the distinction between a certificate and a license lies in
whether the holder has an intrinsic right, or is granted permission.
A certificate of competency enables the holder to exercise his right.
A license grants the holder permission to engage in an activity. A
right cannot be denied; a privilege can.
