Hi John!!!
I wish there was a way that could actually get an email to you that I was positive you actually read personally as you are truly a great inspiration to me. I have been watching you for many years. Actually I have been watching you for as far back as "Welcome back Kotter". I think the plane idea is absolutely a dream. I mean to actually have a 707 jet at your doorstep is unbelievable. You rule! Keep it up John. The world loves you.

You peace of shit. You have a Boeing 707 parked by your house while millions of kids are starving all over the world! Do you know how many lives you could save if you sold that thing abd built a hospital in some third world country? You make me sick.

Why shouldn't John have his own plane, or 2,3 or 10. He busted his ass to get where he is and if he chooses to spend his money on his own frivilous items so be it. The kids you refer to all over the world are his problem how? I am a bit confused. How much should he contribute to satisfy your concern. You know he could probably build a hospital or two but really it costs considerable amounts of money to keep the infrastructure running. Does he have to pay for that as well. You people that accuse John of being a piece of shit or shameless should really think about what you say before you make blanket statements that only reflect your lack of understanding of real world politics. Why call the guy any names. I doesn't make sense at all. I don't know him, or even like the guys work all that much but I respect that he has done well in his chosen profession. Next time you ignorant Anonymous posters write something critically think first then write.

Why then is it we respect religious leaders vows of poverty? Is not the glorification of one self regarded as base in all societies at some point of excess? I think what people are responding to is excess. Why a Boing 707? Why keep it at your home? I don't think it is Mr. Travolta's wealth that bothers those who posted here, I think it is showing off, bragging about one's excess. These photos were allowed to be taken by Mr. Travolta. They include one taken from inside his home. Clearly he allowed that. Why? What is his point? Aside from boastfully showing off his wealth and attempting to glorify himself I can see none.

I highly doubt that he took the pictures. Rather probably some magazine or newspaper that really gets off on wealth such as this. And is a Boeing 707 really excess for Travolta. Maybe he should have a 747. I don't know but excess is a relative term. Whats excess to him may not be for us and vice versus. The reason he keeps it at home is because he wants it at home. I keep my car at home and my bicycle. That is no different. And by the way ,I have a really nice super expensive bicycle... (Sarcasm) You say he brags about his excess but maybe he is showing his success. I don't agree or disagree with what anyone here says. Everyone has a right to their opinion, but don't care so much as to slander the man because he had the in's and talent to make it in the movie business. Just remember that its our money thats lining his pockets. If people were so concerned about hospitals in the needing countries rather than watching his movies then they could have spent their hard earned dollars there. As I said earlier, I don't like his acting personally but, good for him. I think it might be neat someday as to own my own plane and know how to fly it. Regards.

As a brief response to your comment on religious leaders... When you use the term 'we' you are refering to your family, your government, your church, your race or your country? I am unclear? I don't regard personally world religious leaders opinion in any matter. Their views and opinions are shaped from totally different set of values and beliefs than my own. Although I don't follow a religion myself and through experience concluded there isn't a God or other greater being, I still and can respect others for their views and opinion, religious or other. But I can see for myself as I have travelled a great deal in Africa and S. America that poverty exists. You know what... I am not even gonna try and keep writing as the second sentence of yours isnt even legible in the english language "Is not the glorification of one self regarded as base in all societies at some point of excess?"... All I know is that John Travolta is only famous and exposed because we made him that way.

There hundreds of airliners rotting or being bulldozed in the deserts because there are not economically feasible to operate. By owning and operating this 707 John is actually saving a bit of history of an airplane that kick off the jet age.
Way to go John!
BTW, I don't care much for your acting either, but you seem to be a person of values and you deserve what you have.

way to go John. I think its so cool. I'm sure he has made more than his fair contributions to chairities. Some of you should realize that most have dreams but only a few do what is required to relize them. I want a jet in my driveway!

I think it's obvious that he really likes airplanes and likes to fly. I fly and own my own airplane. If I had John's cash I'd do the same thing. Not to mention most pilots would love to live with their planes on a private air park. As far as large jet aircraft go, the boeing 707 is not as expensive as you think compared to other aircraft of it's class. An example would be to compare the 707 to the much younger, modern 737. Keep flying John.

I'm guessing that John has donated money to charity somewhere along the way in his life.
And I'm also guessing it was most certainly alot more than what "Anonymous@92143" has ever donated in their life.
Kudos to what Todd@142217 said in his last sentance.

The love of flight is a forgiveable sin. My dear Dad was an addict! See www.spitfirewingman.com for the life of a born aviator!

Don't listen to all of the bleeding heart libs that posted earlier. You earned the cash, spent it how you will. If they want to build hospitals and save the world they need to get off of their asses and earn some cash so they can do it themselves. Pimp on brother.

Im not sure I should even say anything to those that are jealous of John's wealth as they will never probably come back to read other people's reviews. I think that John is an inspiration for alot of people in the world, not just the United States. I know that John is a very generous person and Im sure he has helped numerous people all over the world. He lives in a private airpark and people can not just drive by his house. I don't think he is showing off just by having one of the first commercial jetliner's in front of his house. If I had his money, I would do the same. I don't know that much about Scientology so I can't say anything about that. He is lucky to have had 2 wonderful ladies as his wife. I wish him the best with his new wife and family. I hope to one day meet him in person. I too am an airplane fanatic. Maybe one day he might visit my paradise Island of Roatan.
