Ever wondered what it’s like to live in a house where airplanes park in the front yard? 🛩️ Welcome to John Travolta’s unbelievable $250 million lifestyle! The Hollywood legend, famous for Grease and Saturday Night Fever, doesn’t just collect luxury cars – he collects airplanes.
In this video, we’ll explore Travolta’s 7,000 sq. ft. mansion at Jumbolair Aviation Estate in Florida, a private community with the longest private runway in America. You’ll see how jets literally taxi up to his front door, the insane cost of building this airport neighborhood, and the shocking story of how Travolta nearly crashed one of his planes.
From his Boeing 707 turned luxury flying palace to a $21 million Bombardier Challenger, John Travolta’s aviation lifestyle is on another level. This is the house where planes are neighbors, runways are driveways, and the sky is your backyard.

Yeah...he's worse. He's a member of the Church of Scientology. He's a different kind of loon.
David Gilmour from Pink Floyd is 79 and as far as I know, still flies. He founded Intrepid Aviation back in the 80s or 90s, and IIRC, owned a Spitfire at one time. He later sold them company but kept some of the aircraft for personal use.
He also has a airport attached to his house in Islesboro Maine. No riding the ferry for him.
Bruce Dickinson of Iron Maiden flies as well.
So what. Had a friend who lived beside the runway and everyone kept their planes in their attached garages. Of course their homes were very small so they could afford their pastimes.
