John Travolta 747SP

03-24-2002, 11:16 PM

According to my informed sources, (M. Hookerman Aviation Consultants) it is undersstood that John Travolta bought the
ex Qantas-Asia 747sp for a disclosed price of $8.5 million to be
used for filming and promotional work!

This will go real nice with his 707... now if he would just add
a Convair 990/880 and a Caravelle to his fleet they would
compliment the others quite well!

I'd like one of those too, but I will settle for a DC-7.

Well his acting career has taken a dump lately so he might as well spend his time doing something he is good at a la Clay Lacy.
Man I wish I was rich!

Having a former Qantas 747-SP, a 707 and Kelly Preston, he's one lucky fella!!!

HannibalHays · 03-25-2002, 12:18 AM

I met him many years ago at SBA when all he had was a lil' Citation... ah, success...

KJC · 03-25-2002, 12:31 AM

I really dislike most celebrities, John included! (Oh well, at least he doesn't molest little boys, or experiment with rodents up the..., or brawl with photographers, or murder his wife, or spend his life in and out of rehab, or say "Dahling you look MAAAAAAhvelous!!" (for $100,000,000,000,000 a crack) or? or?)

Freakin deja vu man - as soon as I click this thread link they introduce Travolta and Sharon Stone on the Oscars..

Scott · 03-25-2002, 01:11 AM

Ah yes, the rodents! Richard Gerbil (Gere) and his happy gerbils!

CX104 · 03-25-2002, 01:22 AM

Both ex qantas planes he will have in his fleet.

smoothjazz · 03-25-2002, 01:25 AM

Very rich man indeed...

$8.5 million? That's not bad. How much will it take per month to maintain this plane not counting fuel?

and save $7.7million dollars if he is going to wreck the plane or poof that.

Otherwise better start to wax and polish n' shine inside the copit windows because you never know what he will do to you.

This is just the story his wife (Kelly Preston) got so she wouldn't freak out over his new purchase.

So is this going to be "Travolta One"?

newscam · 03-25-2002, 01:52 PM

can anyone front me 8.5 million? I would like one also. Just don't have the money.

DavidMich · 03-25-2002, 04:04 PM

well, since ol' John is a scientologist, and their HQ is right here in sunny Clearwater, and he comes down here in the 707 alot, there's a good chance i'll get to see the 747.

cruising_jerry · 03-25-2002, 04:13 PM

Man.... Some people have so much money...

I wish I was one of them...

03-26-2002, 01:04 AM

Are you sure it was only 8.5 million? Sounds like a deal to me.

NEADC9 · 03-26-2002, 04:21 PM

I say more power to him. It would be nice to see a 747SP ply the US Skies now and then!

me737 · 03-26-2002, 05:22 PM

Why don't we all pitch in money to buy a plane. What about a DC-3, huh?
