Why of all people, John Travolta? At least the man is a certified Boeing 747 pilot.
His estate in
Ocala, Florida, is situated at
Jumbolair Airport with its own runway and taxiway right to his house, with two outbuildings for covered access to planes.

Sad news
Loved the Odeasa Files and of course Day of the Jackal.
Also the novella - The Shepherd, about the RAF pilot who gets lost on his flight home one Christmas...Great stuff.
Amazing life by all accounts.

The Shepard was made into a short film a few years ago with all people John Travolta.
Yeah great authour. RIP.
