Travolta Private Pilot???

If you look at the pilot registry, he's a private pilot. Duh? Qantas
Captain?

Besides a private pilot license, instrument rating and appropriate type
ratings, what else does he need? You don't need a commercial license or
ATP if you don't fly other people for hire, do you?

No, you don't, especially when it's one of your personal airplanes.

I heard John bought that 707 from Qantas. I'll bet it's fun to drive.

I was in Bermuda this past June and John's plane was at the airport parked
off in a corner. It's number was something like 707JT. Doors were all open
and there was laudry hanging from one of them..

Nothing. Except for the private pilot certificate, he does not need
any thing execpt a current medical to act as a co-pilot. He would
have to have a Flight Engineer's cert to sit at the sideways table in
the 707, but real pilots don' do that.

Nothing more, but don't you need a B707 type rating?

Nah! If you can afford the 707, a few more dollars with get it
equiped with a rated pilot.

More power to him. Here's the search find with one question - What
does the P/ mean on the type ratings?:

Ah, well, I can only like the man. Anyone who can dance like that has

The P is for Private Privileges, C is for Commercial and A is for ATP.

There is nothing - absolutely nothing - half so much worth doing
as simply messing around with airplanes.
