Travolta’s Florida Estate with the 707 Parked Next to Private Runway (LoL)
Inside the cockpit of his airplane.
John Travolta was forced to make an emergency landing in Ireland on Monday while piloting his private Boeing 707 from Germany to New York.
The actor, who was flying back to the USA after promoting his new movie Wild Hogs in Germany, landed safely at Shannon Airport after his Boeing 707-138B suffered “technical difficulties”, thought to be engine-related. He was said to be unhurt but shaken by the dramatic incident. The 53-year-old, the only private individual to own a Boeing 707, serial number N707JT, hired another aircraft and completed the journey while the 707 was grounded for repairs.
Eight years ago the star suffered a similar mid-air drama when his plane lost an engine and he was forced to make an emergency landing in Boston.

I am the journalist who broke the Travolta engine trouble story but there was no emergency landing. One newspaper changed my original story while the other Irish papers carried it as I wrote it.
The engine problem was detected on the ground and not in flight and there was no emergency landing.
Kind regards,

Do you think he gets dressed up in a pilot outfit whenever he flies his 707? :)
When you reach the level Mr.Travolta is at, he can wear his uniform at will or not. Mind you, his uniform is custom made to his exact specifications and he looks absolutely fantastic in it.
Who does he have to fly right seat with him? Seems like it would be fun… Or does he to fly it himself?
Travolta sits right seat, he has a limitation on his license where he can only serve as Second in Command in a 707
