Movie star Ewan McGregor is set to add pilot to his impressive resume - he wants to join the group of stars who reach for the sky. After tackling two televised motorcycle marathons-- from London to New York and Scotland to the tip of Africa - the Star Wars actor now has his sights set on the heavens.

The daredevil star says, "I want to learn how to fly, and I would especially love to fly old-fashioned planes. I love the airplanes they call tail-draggers. They're old bush planes, and there's a company, called Aviat, that still makes them. I like the look of the Aviat Husky. That's the one I want to fly."
