Paul,


In a previous article, (HankPilot2002) said:
I think that was in his Gulfstream if I'm not mistaken.


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".


You might check your source. Word is that he did an excellent job
with a total electrical failure, at night, in IMC and arrived safely.
He's got a reputation as a very good stick. After all, any filmstar
who promptly goes out and buys a DC-3 when he starts making good money
is the sort of person who is a good reflection on general aviation.

We can certainly use all of the folks like Travolta that our little
industry can get. He's certainly gotten a lot of good press and
attention for general aviation.

All the best,
Rick
