Yvonne Strahovski welcomed aboard 'Sky'

May 19, 2009 Australian actress Yvonne Strahovski, star of the NBC series "Chuck" in the U.S., has climbed aboard "Shadows From the Sky," based on former airline pilot Tristan Loraine's documentary "Welcome Aboard Toxic Airlines" and his subsequent novel "Toxic Airlines."

During this year's European Film Market in Berlin, the project taxied toward takeoff with a slew of talent -- including Talia Shire, John Rhys-Davies and Marina Sirtis -- putting their names to it.
