Yeah you know Tom was just so excited because he just loves aviation, he literally shows up to set in his plane, takes off in his playing awesome. he just makes everything look cool, he's Tom Cruise he's a maverick.

So you know that just sort of love of aviation just kind of became infectious, so as I was getting my pilot's license he would follow up with me, and be like "hey like you know, I hear your cross country's coming up, you're about to do your solo".
