EricMc: It was Sideshow Bob who stole a Wright Flyer, although Homer did once masquerade as a pilot to driink, got volunteered to a flight and wound up retracting the undercarriage while stationary... D'oh!

Regarding Jimmy Stewart,
An aviation magazin in early 90's had a more detailed story about his flight experience. If my poor brain remember it right, PIC in B-24 in combat, SIC B-17 non combat, PIC B-47 in early 50's but never in B-36 (but did of course get some stick time during shooting of SAC). His B-52 flight in Nam was mentioned, it was a one time only as a non duty crewmember!

I suppose you could add Jerry Lewis in "The Family Jewels". A shortish vignette, about a strange looking character who flew a group of harpies to Vegas in a tri-motor.
