"Hilary Swank has said that she is studying to become a pilot as part of her preparation for her role as famed aviator Amelia Earhart. According to Contactmusic, the Oscar winner admitted that she is anxious about the solo flight she must take in order to earn her credentials.  She revealed: &amp;quot;I am [studying to become a pilot]. I don&amp;#039;t sweat a lot, but when I fly my whole back is drenched. The concentration, the focus.&amp;quot; The star went on to say that the challenge has given her a greater sense of freedom, adding: &amp;quot;It is so wonderful. I just picked up my boyfriend in Las Vegas! He had a business meeting there, and I flew with my instructor and picked him up.&amp;quot;  Fellow celebrities John Travolta, Tom Cruise, Angelina Jolie and Brad Pitt are also qualified pilots.
