On the topic of actors -- I remember seeing a list of actors
with PPL or better on the back of an aviation book or magazine.
Can't remember where. But a number of the Star Trek actors
are on the list. Ah, wait...the back cover of Rod Machado's
PPL book:

James Arness (marshall dillon!)
Dirk Benedict
Jimmy Buffett (what? you don't think that's an act onstage?)

He owns several aircraft and flys his crew around to concerts in a Falcon
(50??)

LeVar Burton (ST:TNG)
Johnny Carson
Tom Cruise
Bob Cummings
Michael Dorn (ST:TNG)

Owns/fly his own Sabre (corp jet, not the F86)

Hugh Downs
Clint Eastwood
(flys a Bell 206B3, used to have a MD500)

Dennis Quaid
(leanred to fly when filming "Right Stuff")

Cliff Robertson
Kurt Russell
(Cessna Conquest)

Wasn't Dorn the one who bought a jet warbird and then sold it when he
realized it was registered as "experimental/exhibition" so it wasn't much
use to him?

Yeah, he had an F-86 for a while.

There is nothing - absolutely nothing - half so much worth doing
as simply messing around with airplanes.

And annoyed as h*ll when Paramount told him he couldn't fly during
the 8 month shooting season of Star Trek.
