You're not mistaken. And from what I've heard, his handling of the
situation is taught at Flight Safety as "What NOT to do".
Hey Paul, give us some details. You have my curiosity up now...

I've seen him on TV bragging about how after the electrics went out, he
flew out to sea and spiraled down through clouds until he broke out over
the water and then scud-ran into a very busy coastal airport (JFK or
Boston, I think) and landed NORDO.

This is only rumour, and I've never been able to find confirmation, but
what I've heard is that he DIDN'T follow the emergency checklist, and he
DIDN'T reset the breakers and he DIDN'T switch to auxilliary power (I
don't know enough about Gulfstream systems to know if that's a manual
process). Obviously he DIDN'T follow proper lost-comm IFR procedures.
Rumour has it that Flight Safety gives Gulfstream pilots that scenerio in
the simulator and if they do what Travolta did, they fail.
