Tom Cruise flies his own helicopter in the movie.

According to Business Insider , Tom Cruise is passionate about flying in the sky, so he has spent tens of millions of dollars to enrich his aircraft collection. The actor owns classy planes such as an old P-51 Mustang (from World War II), HondaJet, Bombardier Challenger 300…

Among them, the Gulfstream IV G4 jet is used for both business and personal purposes. The plane is considered the most luxurious when it is integrated with a jacuzzi and a private cinema room, and can carry 19 people.

“The plane can fly at an altitude of 45,000 feet. The onboard amenities make Tom and his passengers feel at home, even when they are at an altitude of several thousand feet,” Cheatsheet wrote .

To own the Gulfstream IV G4, the Hollywood actor agreed to spend 20 million USD . Paparazzi once captured the moment Cruise landed the plane on the golf course just to go to a nearby lunch spot.

Forbes reports that Cruise got his pilot’s license in 1994. For Cruise, the license has been a useful tool in his acting career. In an interview with Wired , Cruise said he is a commercial pilot and can fly both commercial planes and helicopters.

Now, when it comes to planes, it’s not just about speed, for Cruise, it’s about a dreamy luxury fortune. In addition to spending a large amount of money to own the plane, he also spends a lot of money decorating and modifying it to his own taste.

Top Gun : Maverick has many scenes where Cruise flies the plane himself without the use of CGI technology. For the next installments, Cruise also wants to do his own stunts. He said: “My dream has always been to make movies and fly planes.”

Jerry Bruckheimer, producer of Top Gun , said the cast of the film participated in a flight program developed and taught by Cruise himself. They boarded real planes to experience the feeling of sitting in a fighter jet.
