Hussein was a trained pilot, flying both airplanes and helicopters as a hobby.<ref name="ReferenceA"/> In a 1999 interview [[Henry Kissinger]] described being flown by Hussein, saying that "...he was a daring pilot, and he would be zooming along at treetop level, and my wife, in order to be politely insistent would say, 'You know I didn't know helicopters could fly so low.' 'Oh!' said the King, 'They can fly lower!' and went below tree top level just skimming along on the ground. That really aged me rapidly."<ref name="ReferenceA">Nightline: Hussein of Jordan, ABC Evening News for Friday, 5 February 1999</ref>
