Move over, John Travolta. There's a new pilot in the ranks of
actors: James Franco, best known to fans from the Spiderman series
of films (where he plays Peter Parker's friend-turned-enemy Harry
Osborne), decided that he wanted to understand what a pilot felt
like before trying to play one in an upcoming movie: "Flyboys,"
which tells the story of the Lafayette Escadrille.
