Which sends me off on a bit of a tangent again: John Travolta has a
707 of his own. How can he fly it without a copilot and engineer?

He can't and doesn't.

As a matter of fact for the longest time he had no 707 type
rating. He was never pilot in command.


What's the point? If I had a 707 and his money, I'd sure work on
getting the rating!


If you had the time, but if since you can't fly the thing solo
anyhow, you have all the benefits and publicity of calling yourself
the pilot even though you're only SIC.


Me personally, I'd take the few weeks or whatever at Flight Safety. :-)

You're right though, I don't think the general public knows or cares...
