Leonard Nimoy - used to own a twin, don't know if he still does
Michael Dorn - used to own a jet, still?
I think LeVar Burton also flies.

A John Denver Suite would be good

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?

Jay, if you want to do a John Denver suite (a pretty good idea, IMHO), let
me know. I might have a contact for you that could be VERY helpful (haven't
talked to him in several years, but he was very close to Denver).

Right. We could design the plumbing in such a way that the guests have to be
contortionists to turn the water on.

And we could only rent it to home builders, so they'd feel right at
home.

Jimmy Buffett. He owns his own air force, or at least his wife says so.
