This is a not a very good PR move for Travolta as 'green' is in and an old
707 is not very friendly to the envormeintment as are private jets in
general.

Look at what happed to this guy's Hummer.

He proved his point that he is a pilot and can fly a 707. Anything more is
ego and hurting the planet. That jets needs to be parked somewhere for good.

Why do people like you insist on talking about "hurting the planet"? The
planet was here long before human beings and will be here long after
we're extinct. It will go along just fine.

This planet has suffered far more cataclysmic events than a few degrees
increase in temperature. Massive asteroids have impacted and scourged
the surface of the earth, often eradicating 90%% of all life. And yet
here the planet is, no worse for wear.

It's spectacularly egotistical for mankind to believe it can really do
anything to "hurt the planet". Even if we launched a nuclear holocaust,
the planet would bounce back just fine in a million or so years.

A private jet is one thing, a 707 is rather large for an individual:

Why on Earth would that idiot Travolta need a plane that big? Unless
he's compensating for something else ...

" wouldn't think Travolta's lawyers would be dumb enough to file a
suit
if all the defendant has to do to get it dismissed is show some
pictures
and say "Look at that".

Think again! I fly out of there all the time and there will be plenty
of pictures. Here are a couple other interesting facts:

The 707 has already suffered FOD damage.

The part of the runway was recently re-sealed because it was causing
FOD from deterioration (it was sealed shortly after damage to his
707).

His G2(3) actually has a heavier foot print and most likely causes
most the damage, but the 707 gets all the press.

The airport manager is not rich. He is a plumber-welder that owns a
grass strip airport.

The manager owns only a small part of the paved strip and according to
the agreement, Jumbolair (Terry Jones - child bride to Author Jones),
is responsible for the maintenance of the paved strip
