Hilary Swank at Trump And Nakheel Introduce the new Trump Hotel & Tower Dubai held at The Tar Estate, Beverly Hills, California - 23.08.08

The actress took to the skies for lessons to prepare for her role as aviator Amelia Earhart in a new movie, but insurers banned her from flying alone, which meant she couldn't qualify for a licence.

But now the movie has wrapped, she can't wait to get back in the hotseat.

Swank says, "The fun part of my job is that I get to dive into the shoes of other people.

"It was exhilarating it was wonderful. I love to fly in general and getting there in cockpit was a lot of fun.

"For insurance reasons they wouldn't let me go up alone, and you have to go up alone to get your license. But I will do that."
