HondaJet HA-420
N77VA · ICAO: AA688A · Light jet

Actor, producer, aviation enthusiast; net worth ~$600M. Global box office >$11.5B. Licensed pilot. Devout Scientologist since 1986. Primary base is a two-storey penthouse in The SkyView, Clearwater FL (purchased 2017) with private entrance, nine-car garage, and flight simulator room. Spends extensive time in London hotels while filming.
Cruise mainly flies a HondaJet HA-420 (N77VA, operated via Nexgen Flight Solutions) around the Clearwater / Tampa area, and has chartered large-cabin jets for years rather than owning one. The Bombardier Challenger 350 N350XX often attributed to him is not his — the registering LLC was named after a Cruise film/character, so trackers assumed a connection despite the aircraft never visiting his home airports.
NBAA likened jet tracking to 'driving on the interstate and having anybody pick up your license plate.'
