Hello Simmers,
I have been reading an interesting article about the world tour that John Travolta undertook, on behalf of Qantas in his amazing Boeing 707 in the V-Jet livery registration N707JT he visited 13 cities on a 35000 mile trip.
i remember him coming through JFK when i was working there, it was a truely amazing aircraft, the places visited were "Mr. Travolta will fly from Los Angeles to Auckland in New Zealand, Sydney, Melbourne and Perth in Australia, Singapore, Hong Kong, Tokyo, London, Rome, Paris, Frankfurt and New York before returning to Los Angeles. The tour involves about 80 flying hours and covers more than 35,000 nautical miles (64,700 kilometres)."
I'm thinking of posting the whole tour in the bid division, not sure under what catagory yet? i need help to know what routing he may have took, LAX to AKL i presume he must have gone via HNL would he have needed an other alternate before AKL? then all the other are straight forward until we get to Tokyo, where did he stop enroute to London? he left Frankfurt for New York, i believe he stopped in EDI did he fly direct then to JFK? his aircraft would make the route i believe?? if any has got any suggestions or info on this and can get it back to me ASAP i will begin setting up this amazing tour, i have a model off the aircraft from the Historic Jet Group where they have amazing models.
Let me know simmers ASAP
