Pete,
While you were busy criticizing John Travolta for not making public
comments that were in favor of aviation, he was busy giving an
extensive interview to Architectural Digest magazine about his love
for flying and airplanes in support of the long article the magazine
did on his aviation-themed home in Florida. See the April issue.
It's pretty impressive and it outlines the comments of some high
rollers who have been guest of the Travoltas at their home and came to
understant the importance of aviation in his life. He designed, built
and furnished the house every one of us would love to own. From the
compass rose on the floor in the entry way to the paintings and
sculptures of airplanes, and the view out the windows of his G-II and
707 parked outside, it's pretty amazing.
You might also take a look at the series of interviews he gave while
doing the around the world flight as PIC of the 707 he owns.
All the best,
Rick

It's real easy to cast aspersions on famous folks on the Internet,
yeah, that CB radio for those who can type, but how many of us are
actually getting out there and doing something to support the aviation
we care for?
In other words, you have NO examples of instances where Travolta got "a lot
of good press and attention for general aviation".
It's funny that in your own post, at the same time that you make a lame
attempt to discredit me rather than answering the question, you criticize
the very sort of behavior that you are engaging in.
IMHO, if there were really "a lot of good press and attention for general
aviation", you'd be able to come up with at least a half dozen specific
examples of situations where Travolta actually made a real attempt to use
his public profile to improve general aviation.
