Christopher Reeve was a glider pilot, don't know if he flew powered
aircraft as well.

William Hurt
I got to see him in person back in 1991, when he was taking his IFR
practical test at ISP (Long Islip MacArthur field).

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?

Bruce Dickinson, lead singer of Iron Maiden is an airline pilot (now
THAT's
a career change!)

And when the passengers find out who's piloting the aircraft, can you guess
what they scream?

"Run to the hills, run for your life!"

(That's one of Iron Maiden's biggest hits)

A google search of that address suggests it's a large office building.
Presumably her doctor, lawyer, or indian chief has a suite the

Semi-educated guess says this actually is her office. Suite 200. Chivan
Productions. Chivan is the middle name (or original last name) of her
adopted son Maddox. It is also the registered address for her SR-22. Give
it a whirl, Jay.

It's kind of surprising that nobody mentioned that a recent National
Enquirer had 4 pictures of her flying her plane. It mentioned that she was
returning to land "after a 4 hour lesson".

Before you all start, it's my wife who reads the Enquirer. I just look at
the pictures.

That guy who played Worf in Star Trek TNG is certified
to fly jets.

That guy would be Michael Dorn.

couple of things: the FAA makes it possible to provide a postal
address in addition to your residence address (which they insist
in having); it is the postal address that shows on your certificate
(thus protecting your privacy); I found out that the DMV in California
does the same thing by the way; moreover, there is a box somewhere
you can check (hmm, I don't remember where exactly, but last
time I changed my address online with the FAA it was an
option) that says you don't want either address to show on the
only registry which I did too, and I am not nearly as famous
as AJ :-) I am surprised her public FAA record shows any address
at all, and I would be even more surprised if it was her actual
residence.

but it would be fun to
have pictures of each celebrity pilot in the suite, preferably
autographed...

Any ideas?

yes, there are better hobbies than stalking celebrities, flying
for instance :-)

That last sentence "a determination was made that he was not qualified
for any class of medical certificate at that time" doesn't leave much
wriggle room now, does it?

While he was (apparently) in violation of the terms of his medical
certificate (rendering it invalid), there's no indication whatsoever that
the FAA had actually suspended or revoked it.

He did. I met him back in the early 90's at Challis, ID. We had
both dropped in for a quick fueling and were racing for the lone gas
pump. I won. As I recall, he was flying a light twin at the time.

It means she has a certificate issued on the basis of a Foreign licence
which the feds DO see as legit. see FAR 61.75
