John Travolta’s Boeing 707-138B
Travolta, a type-rated airline-class pilot, bought an ex-Qantas 707 in 1998, painted it in 1960s Qantas colours and flew it on a 2002 world tour as the airline's ambassador. He pledged the jet to Australia's HARS museum in 2017, and it was dismantled and shipped there in 2026. He also flies a Bombardier Challenger, a Falcon 900 and an Eclipse very light jet.
