Tom Cruise Learning to Fly a World War II Plane for Mission Impossible

Hollywood star Tom Cruise is reportedly learning to fly a World War II military plane for dogfight scenes in ‘Mission Impossible 8’.

The 59-year-old star, known for performing his stunts in his action blockbusters, has been seen flying a 1943 Boeing Stearman Model 75 at Duxford Airfield in Cambridgeshire in the UK, reports femalefirst.co.uk.

The aircraft, which had two movie rigs on its wings, would be filmed in a chase with another wartime aircraft.

The star has already begun his work as Agent Ethan Hunt for “Mission: Impossible 8,” which isn’t set to release until 2023, even though filming recently wrapped on the upcoming “Mission: Impossible 7” has gone.

A source told The Sun newspaper’s bizarre column: “Tom began learning to fly a Boeing Stearman biplane earlier this year for a major stunt scene in ‘Mission Impossible 8’. It’s clearly a highly skilled job. But as always he has no plans to cut any corners or bring in stuntmen.”
