And John Travolta with a 707.

He has donated it to a great aircraft museum in Australia - it should be making its way down this year.

They have spent years getting it back to spec to make the trans-pacfic flight back home

The irony of not being able to the transport the thing that usually transports the things.

Would have been easier to ship by boat, even without dismounting it, since it’s the cheapest transportation. But it seems I’m wrong, since they didn’t do it.

Well, if the aim is to make it fly anyway (not just show on the ground)...

IIRC, he had it parked right up to his house.

Yup.
