Tom Cruise is a licensed pilot of multi-engine airplanes and has helicopter flying skills. The famous actor has a whole collection of airplanes.
Cruise owns a vintage P-51 Mustang fighter jet from World War II and a Gulfstream IV G4 jet. This is reported by Simple Flying.
According to the travel expert, the actor's fleet may also include such aircraft as HondaJet and Bombardier Challenger 300.
Cruise is one of the few actors who truly loves aviation. He has had a pilot's license since 1994 and can fly several types of aircraft.
During the filming of The Late Late Show, Cruise took host James Corden for a flight in his own vintage P-51 Mustang fighter jet. Cruise purchased this World War II-era fighter jet in 2001.
The P-51 Mustang was an American long-range fighter-bomber that took part in World War II and the Korean War.
Recently starring in the movie Top Gun: Maverick, Cruise takes to the skies in a P-51 Mustang fighter jet. What adds to the intrigue is that he wasn't just portraying a pilot on screen: he was actually flying his own P-51 Mustang.

Are there any more?
Whether the actor has more aircraft in his fleet has not yet been officially confirmed. However, Jack Sweeney, who is known for revealing the travel habits of many celebrities, including Elon Musk, said that he was able to identify Cruise's HondaJet and Bombardier Challenger 300 jet.
