Thread: John Travolta visits aircraft museum and soon to be home of his luxury Boeing 707

Well, I suppose he can't take it with him when he goes. I wonder if he bought it from Quaintarse or was it gifted to him?

Not quite sure what your point is there mate. He has owned the aircraft for years and has donated it to Albion Park.

A special flight permit will be granted to allow Hollywood star John Travolta's Qantas 707 to fly to Wollongong in November where it will be donated to an aviation museum.


Civil aviation authorities are set to grant a special permit to the Historical Aircraft Restoration Society to allow the plane to be flown from the United States to its new home at Albion Park, south of Wollongong.

I seem to remember that it was bought by him, but not direct from Qantas. However, Qantas have, at least to some extent, helped with maintenance in return for the publicity.
