Possible Emergancy landing by John Travolta at Shannon.

Very true mate.

Also the Romanian goverment has one in service so does NATO and Austraila.

Romania, that would be YR-ABB, and don’t forget in the old days of Tarom, there were YR-ABA/C/M/N.

The only one’s in Australian service are with the RAAF and they’re all but retired as the 737’s and A330’s come online

So that wasn’t an engine light malfuntion!:D

Don’t forget the Spanish 707’s.

From one souce who works in an ops department, the 707 was planned for Munich-Shannon all along and the other aircraft was a Global Express.

Just a heads up people. The 707 is in the hanger at shannon getting its number four engine changed.

Is the powerplant still in common supply ? (S’cuse my ignorance.)

I would have thought there would still be the odd spare engine knocking about. Southend for example.

Thats got me thinking how many proper 707s are still flying,

These are the ones i can think of:

Lowas 707-300
John travoltas 707-100.
The Qantas jet.
The three SAHA air 707s in Iran, The only ones still carring passengers in the world.

Someone FINALY noticed! You win a cookie.

Woohoo!!:D 😀 😀

Oh dear, smart comment in backfire shocker!!:D 😀

I’ll get your coat Sandy 😀 😀 😀 :dev2:

Am I right he is also a trained captain to fly QF 747’s?

James

No he passed first officer rating on the Qantas 744 simulator

Is an emergancy the same and an emergency? :dev2:

I’ll bet his CHILLLLZ were MULTIPLYIN’, but he WASN’T LOOOOOOSING CONTROL…:rolleyes:

(Did he – GREASE – the landing???) :rolleyes:

Oooooh dear.

You’re signature says it all 😀 😀 . hehe:rolleyes:

I think it’s safe to say Mr Travolta is more than likely as qualified as any other pilot to land his aircraft in an emergency! Why would he need to hand over to someone else?

Paul

I meant if he was not at the controls as normally he only flies the begining and end of flights and has two employed pilots fly the middle bit.

I’ll get your coat for ya

I’ve read his first plane was an Ercoupe back when he was doing the 70s TV series “Welcome Back Kotter”.
Ercoupe to Gulfstreams to 707. Not too bad.
He even owned a Connie for awhile and planned to fly around the world.

I imagine a decent SOP/CRM would say that a new pilot taking over at this stage would not be appropriate as you would have to bring them up to speed whilst turning for an emergency landing?
