Aviation began as an abstract dream yet through persistence and ingenuity this abstract fantasy revolutionized the existence of human kind. Tom Cruise’s passion for aviation is more than a simple pastime but a true symbol of perseverance and patriotism.
Tom Cruise was recently awarded the “Top Aviation Inspiration and Patriotism Award” for his contribution to the aviation industry. As a child, Tom hung a photo of a P-51 mustang on his wall, yet little did he know the impact his career would have on young aspiring pilots like himself. A tenacious work ethic led for him to star in a series of roles including that of Maverick in the movie “Top Gun,” which excited the imagination of all who witnessed the struggle and subsequent victory of Maverick. All recipients of the recent “Legends of Aviation” awards have different extraordinary stories of how they overcame obstacles to make history…and they all began with a dream.
Congratulations again, Tom! We share your joy in this honor. Take a look at the rest of the honorees of this prestigious award; from celebrities to astronauts, these individuals challenge us to make our our dreams a reality: Legends of Aviation Awards–Red Carpet

Congratulations!! Love ya!! <3
Mr. Cruise is a real honor to have the opportunity of comunicating with you, I am a flight line service technitian who has logged time on different aircrafts. as a pilot in command. I was inspired deeply by your TOPGUN performance. the F-14D Supertomcat was a part of that equation, together you guys made History!! Ronald Reagan must have been really happy to have you representing that Aircraft during such a difficult time for America. I had the chance to move and service several jets from different celebrities and only once did I saw you in your Pitts Special, now that you own and operate that beauty P-51D (kiss me Kate) you have become a more than a Patriotic simbol for America.
Hey man, American aviation and its people love you. the P-51D fits you right on!!!
tom, you are the best, you are my favorite actor and someday i`ll want to know you personally, I`m your fan number 1 because i have seen all your movies and all your work very well, I really congratulate you. you are the better actor in all hollywood!!!
