Travolta - did he ever ditch an aircraft?

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

Harrison Ford is another prominent example who comes to mind. He has
a reputation as a straight shooter, no nonsense pilot who flies within
his skillset and not his wallet. Yeah, he owns a G4 (and a Bonanza,
and a twin and a helicopter), but he flies in back with the family.

Actually, according to news accounts including an article in either
Flying or Pilot, Ford is an accomplished pilot and flies his own
planes (I don't know about the G4). He even rescued some stranded
hikers off a mountain using his helicopter.
