E! News is reporting that Connor Cruise is taking flying lessons at a Burbank airfield.
At his father’s airplane hangar in Burbank this past Saturday afternoon—and after doing a few tricks on one of his two motorcycles—Connor boarded a small prop airplane for his flying lesson.
According to a source, Connor, with an instructor, practiced taking off, cruising and landing the Cessna 172 Skyhawk about three times. The teenager finished his lesson at 7:30 p.m. without incident.
At first I thought maybe he was a little too young, but sources tell E News that it is legal for a 13 year old to take flying lessons, as long as they are able to reach all of the controls and have passed the exams. As for when he can get an official pilot’s license, he has to wait until he is 16 for that. From the sound of it, he’ll be more than ready to take off!
Maybe he’ll be a shoo-in for Top Gun 2!
