John Travolta was forced to make an emergency landing in his private jet on
Monday night (04.02.07).
The 'Pulp Fiction' actor was piloting his Qantas Boeing 707 from Germany to
New York when he encountered engine problems as he flew over Ireland.
The shaken 53-year-old star - a licensed pilot - was forced to land his
aeroplane at Ireland's Shannon Airport.
A source told Britain's The Sun newspaper: "If he hadn't made it to Shannon,
it could have been the end of him. You could tell that he was very
relieved."
An airport spokesman confirmed: "John Travolta was diverted to Shannon due
to technical difficulties."
Travolta - who was in Europe to promote his new film 'Wild Hogs' - grounded
his jet and continued his journey on another airplane.
The plane-mad actor owns five aircrafts, while his Florida home has its own
1.4 mile-long runway. He and wife Kelly Preston even named their son Jett.
His 34-seater Quantas 707 - which boasts three bedrooms - bears the name
'Jett Clipper Ella' in honor of his son and his daughter Ella Bleu.
I am glad he’s ok. But he and his wife are weird, that’s Scientology for ya!!! And what’s wrong with his son? The poor kid always looked really strange and mentally handicapped in some way. You always see the little girl in pictures, but never the son.

CUT IT OUT TRAVOLTA. He so didn’t have to have an emergency landing. Hes such a tool. He just wanted people to know that he flew germany to the us. Thats it plain and simple. And those scientologists are weird, they are so wrapped up in their cult. They all have the same dead eyes.

I’m sure he was getting a blow job from his male flight attendant and forgot he was piloting the plane - hence the “emergency” landing.

sorry, but I’m just waiting for this to happen. This is just an accident waiting to happen. I mean, I don’t know what kind of qualifications/education he’s had. He’s just a movie star. Something is going to happen, with this big ass 707.

There isn’t a drop one of Danny Zucko left in this guy. And what’s the deal with his mousy wife pitching for Neutrogena anti-wrinkle products? Isn’t a basis of Scientology to not believe in modern medicine or research testing? Would this not, to a degree, include the cosmetic and pharmaceutical industry?

Was he flying the cult mothership and ran into problems when the chanting stopped?

He does have a license and knows what he’s doing, lol. But i actually like the fact that he can fly his own plane it beats plane tickets.

(@ peepee - there’s speculation as to whether or not Jett is autistic, or, has Kawasaki Syndrome.)
He’ll always be Vinnie Barbarino in my mind.
