Actress Catherine Bell is making the most of the free time the Hollywood writers strike has allowed her - she's learning to fly. The star's TV show Army Wives is among the programs shut down by the strike, which began in November.

But Bell is refusing to sit around waiting to get back to work and has been soaring high in an effort to become the latest celebrity pilot.

She says, "Who knows? I may become a pilot for a commercial airline."
