I’d bet the bio-jet-fuel gelled in a GlobalWarming-ClimateChange cold spell.

Wow, better stock up on carbon credits.

As a pilot, John Travolta did the right thing and did an outstanding job.
For those Freepers that have "Class Envy", you may be happier hanging out at the DU website.
For the rest of us, we consider someone enjoying the rewards of Capitalism, from hard work, as something to be enjoyed.

Didn’t know that their was a closet involved. Holy crap.

Not exactly like engine trouble in the Gremlin.

We are more than happy for his success, it is his lecturing us about conserving that reeks of hypocrisy.
Kinda like Cut&Run Kerry professing to be a war hero rather than a war protester.

"technical difficulties", thought to be engine-related.
Oh No !!! The dreaded Three engine landing !!!

They seem to have left out that he was flying this alone. Alone! Someone help me out. Is it possible to fly a 707 alone?? Is there a minimum crew requirement, either by regulation or sheer necessity?

I’ll admit it would be pretty cool to own and fly your own 707.

The 707 is a very old design.
And his being a 707-138B means that it is in the -100 series, very old, one of the earliest

Yabba, Dabba, Doo...they’ll have a happy old time.
To: Yo-Yo
Must not have bought enough carbon credits to offset all the fuel that his jet uses.
To: Yo-Yo
Personally I would love to have the money to own and operate as many airplanes as he has. I know I would love to get into a career in aviation.

I don't think the FAA will allow a plane like the 707 to be flown solo.

I was told that Travolta owned a 777. Guess not. He bought a 747 a few years ago, but I don't think the runway at the house can handle that.
