Those damned Republican mechanics.....
He may have been flying it himself, but who was his copilot?
Modern, efficient engines won't fit on a 707 (they are too fat).

He employs a cockpit crew of six...
Must have run out of carbon credits.
Wow, that’s a cool pad. As long as he doesn’t jump on the “carbon exemption” bandwagon, you go Travolta!
You’re a little slow on the uptake, aren’t ya?
I remember a few years ago when 737-200s mothballed when they ran out out greentime on the HMV, you could pick them up for $800K, for a 727 about 1 /2 million, 2 mill or so for an old 707.
If he wanted something he could make some money with, he should have bought one of UAL’s retired DC8-73’s (re engined with the CFM56) UPS got some, and so did Air Canada IIRC.
Larry,
He wasn’t flying it alone.
Horshack was co-pilot.
I’m sure Quantas probably kicks in maintenance considering he’s a flying billboard for the airline. And he does take his flying seriously, so I image he’s not one to scrimp on it in any event.
I wonder how he keeps the house from smelling like jet fumes.
If it is a politician with such a spread that would be bad, but a movie star, okay.
Hey!
Watch your language there buster! ; )
Yes. That’s John smooching some other guy in a not so platonic, or French kiss on the cheek, kind of way.
He’s gay? Oh please say it isn’t so.
That’ll teach me to walk by all those colorful “newspapers” in the supermarket.
I never heard this before.
50?? maybe 500...with those 60s engines
Two emergency landings in the last eight years with that bird.
Sounds to me like it’s time to flush that turd.
(Hey, it rhymes!)
I can’t believe he made Pulp Fiction for a mere $140,000. He must have gotten something else in the deal.
A Honeywell electronic air cleaner in his furnace of course! /snicker
