That is cruel and sadistic. Why would you wish that on him?

 

[Stark]

Jumbo Jets are cool. Travolta is not.

 

[MazerRackham]

Great. He can take all his scientologist nutball friends on an around-the-world flight!

 

[Lucky]

sounds like he got a sweet deal from that airline. I wonder what he paid for the plane and what he pays in fuel/maint. bills.

Because if he's dead he may stop making movies.

Cool? John Travolta? Man, there isn't a closet big enough to hold you, is there?

 

[SaltBoy]

If John Travolta wasn't in Pulp Fiction, he would be a pennyless man right now.

While he is QUALIFIED to fly a 747, the 707 he owns (which is the one he's piloting) is not a jumbo jet. Read the article...

Ummmmmm..... I didnt mean to inferr that I thought Travolta was cool or a good actor or anything. I just thought it's cool that he got himself a personal jumbo jet.

A 707 is pretty jumbo compared to most private planes.

I spit my water out when I read that.

let's hope this is a career change..

Travolta decided not to buy a 747SP from QANTAS. All of QS' 747SPs are being chopped up in the AZ desert as we speak.

But, supposedly he did drop 120 mil at a certain Seattle manufacturer recently. :Q

Travolta will pilot his own 707 jet to 10 countries and to 13 cities including London, Hong Kong, Rome, Tokyo, Sydney and New York.

The jet - bought from Australian airline Qantas in 1998 - has been gutted and fitted with leather couches, a double bed, shower, kitchen and private cabins. Travolta's own back-up crew and stewardesses will accompany him on the trip.

backup plane perhaps?

What do you mean?

 

[Lucky]

What do you mean?

Meaning, why would he buy a brand new 120 million dollar plane when he already has a 707?

 

[LH]

Actually the majority of his money comes from Look Whos Talking 1, 2, and 3. He invested the money properly, that why he is extremely wealthly, not because of Pulp Fiction and the movies following it.

i doubt it would be backup... hmmm... new 737 or 30 year old 707... i know which i'd rather be in. '37 is bigger anyway.

I think the point is that one of the articles is wrong, and I suspect its not the first.

Quote:

he added: "I'm not going to buy a 747. The 707 I have already got is big enough. There are limits to these things."

When you have a sponsored 707, why in the world would you spend $120 million dollars (probably most of his net worth, if he even has that much) on another jet?

(edit: and you dont really have a way of knowing the 707 was 30 years old. Regardless, it was gutted and customized acording to the article) so Im sure its better than new.

 

[crab]

I have no idea, please notice the "suppsedly" .

 

[dakata24]

anyways, i wish i had $120 million to blow... other than pulp fiction, what good movies has he been in since his comeback? 😕
