Tom stunned onlookers, striking poses atop two vintage biplanes in front of photographers and fans.
Dressed to kill in an all-black suit, Cruise looked every inch the action hero as he smiled and waved from the wings.
One red aircraft saw the superstar casually perched on its nose, with a mountainous backdrop making it look like a scene straight out of the blockbuster.
Later, he hopped onto a yellow-and-black striped plane, again climbing right on top.

It's all in honour of his latest and possibly final outing as Ethan Hunt in the Mission: Impossible Franchise.
The film stars Hayley Atwell, Pom Klementieff, Mariela Garriga, and Esai Morales — but as always, it was Cruise stealing the spotlight before a single frame rolled.
The premiere attracted a string of stars including Sir Rod Stewart and his wife Penny Lancaster, model Kimberley Garner and presenter and pop star Myleene Klass.
Last night, Tom posed with his Mission Impossible co-star Hayley Atwell at a showing of the movie in Cannes.
The pair, who once dated, were joined by castmates including Hannah Waddingham and Pom Klementieff.
And Simon Pegg and Angela Bassett also hopped in for a selfie taken by director Christopher McQuarrie.
Tom Cruise & Ana de Armas: The new Hollywood power couple heats up
The action thriller is in UK cinemas from May 21.
Yesterday, The Sun revealed that lead Cruise clambered onto the roof of the 82ft BMI Imax cinema — home to Britain's biggest screen — in a stunt to promote his latest film.
Wrapped around the building in Waterloo, South London, was a giant advert for the movie, Mission: Impossible — The Final Reckoning, which is set for release next week.
The 62-year-old Top Gun star was in the capital to receive an honorary British Film Institute Fellowship, the organisation's highest award.
It was also revealed that Tom had been splashing the cash to impress his new girlfriend, 37-year-old Bond actress Ana de Armas.
He spent £8,662 just taking her to Heathrow Airport at the weekend so she could catch a flight to New York.

Wimbledon diary: Heatwave makes way for rain as Olivia Rodrigo visits Royal Box
Earlier in the week it felt unlikely that attendees would have cause to use an umbrella for anything other than shelter from the 30C-plus heat, but before play started on Wednesday all the methods used to avoid the sun were utilised again to stay out of the rain. The turf was covered and the rain cleared to allow play to begin just after 1pm on the outside courts, a delay on the intended 11am start time, but there were no hold-ups on Centre Court and Court One as play ran to time without the need to get under way with the roof closed. ***** Olivia Rodrigo, fresh from her triumphant headline slot on the Pyramid Stage at Glastonbury, was present in the Royal Box as she extended her British sojourn to take in the sights at Wimbledon. Rodrigo wore Union Flag shorts during her festival performance and delivered a brief ode to M&S sweets, Colin the Caterpillar and British pub culture, after which she invited The Cure's Robert Smith on stage as a guest. She was joined in SW19 by her boyfriend, British actor Louis Partridge, and the pair were seen chatting to Olympic diver Tom Daley. Also present from the sporting world were golfer Tommy Fleetwood, former England manager Roy Hodgson and current England boss Thomas Tuchel. Dave Grohl, former Nirvana member and Foo Fighters founder, was also seen and so too was the American wrestler and actor John Cena. ***** Aryna Sabalenka's advice to Alexander Zverev after his emotional press conference following a first-round loss, during which he described feeling 'alone' and 'empty'.

Tom Cruise developing sequel to another of his 80s blockbuster hits after Top Gun Maverick success
Fans will be delighted by the news after much speculation CRUISING ALONG Tom Cruise developing sequel to another of his 80s blockbuster hits after Top Gun Maverick success TOM Cruise is developing a sequel to another of his 80s blockbuster hits, after the success of Top Gun Maverick. With all the adrenaline, spectacular stunts, humour and heart of the first blockbuster, Top Gun Maverick also had an all-action storyline of bombs and baddies to beat Bond. 6 Tom Cruise is developing a sequel to another of his 80s blockbuster hits, after the success of Top Gun Maverick Credit: Getty 6 Fans will be delighted by the news after much speculation Credit: Getty 6 Tom Cruise as naval pilot Maverick Credit: Alamy When the sequel came out, it had been 36 years since we last saw Tom Cruise slipping out of his shirt and into his aviators as test pilot Pete 'Maverick' Mitchell in the original. And it was a great success, which is likely why the Hollywood star has now decided to develop another sequel to one of his 80s blockbuster films. Jerry Bruckheimer, co-producer to the F1 movie, has confirmed that a sequel to Days of Thunder is in the pipeline, which will of course star Tom. Days of Thunder is a 1990 American sports action drama film which is still beloved by NASCAR fans today. There has been a lot of hope for a sequel, as well as speculation, after Tom, 62, uploaded a throwback photo on X to mark the 35th anniversary of working with late director Tony Scott. Speaking about Days of Thunder 2 in an interview with Entertainment Tonight, Jerry said: 'Well, there's always new technologies. There's always new ways to do things and to see things, and Tom is such a great individual - comes up with phenomenal ideas. 'So we'll have something really exciting for an audience once we pull it together." Former NASCAR driver Jeff Gordon has also addressed a Days of Thunder 2 being made. The chairman of Hendrick Motorsports said: 'Let's do Days of Thunder 2, I am all for that. Tom Cruise has told me it's gonna happen, so let's make it happen. Stars turn out for F1 The Movie premiere in London with Lewis Hamilton, Tom Cruise and Brad Pitt wowing fans 'I can't go back to driving, I am too old for that, so gonna have to be one of our four or all four of our Hendrick drivers, Alex Bowman, Chase Elliott, Kyle Larson, William Byron. When I came into NASCAR, Days of Thunder had just come out. It played a huge role in the growth of NASCAR. 'So let's bring it back." The US actor is always pushing the limits when it comes to his work. In May, he clambered onto the roof of the 82ft BMI Imax cinema — home to Britain's biggest screen — in a stunt to promote his latest film. Wrapped around the building in Waterloo, South London, was a giant advert for the movie, Mission: Impossible — The Final Reckoning.
