Travolta in Airport Trauma

Posted Jul 21st 2007 12:03PM by Celly

High-flying John Travolta is in an uproar over an airport near his $8 million home in Florida. Travolta contends he was lied to(!) by owners of the Greystone Airport near Ocala, Fla., because they didn't want him to land his Boeing 707 there.

In a lawsuit filed Wednesday, the new Mrs. Edna Turnblad claims that Greystone owners James and Christine Garemore falsely told Travolta that they couldn't accommodate his jumbo jet. It's so tough owning your own plane!

Travolta says he used to use the Greystone airport all the time, but in 2006, the Garemore's changed the airport's master record to indicate that large planes could no longer land there. The Garemores cite deteriorating runway conditions as a major reason for the change.

But Travolta isn't buying it.

Said Michael J. McDermott, Travolta's attorney, "It's spin in order to cover his butt because he knows that he is in big trouble for doing what he did, and we intend to establish that."

3. Heir Scientologist should build himself a space craft. Between his lack of proper treatment for his son, and his comments about psychotropic drugs being the cause of all school shootings....this guy is on another planet.
I grew up a HUGE fan of Vinny Barbarino and all his other charecters, but now he is just a narcissistic whale of a species.
I will never spend another penny on Cruise of Travolta.

4. When Stephen Colbert and Matt Groening were flying in Matt Groening's private jet to Ocala to discuss the making of an animated version of "Strangers With Candy," those two ran into the same situation. Their solution was to divert the Boeing 707 to Pensacola and then hop a cab.

5. Steven Colbert is annoying. He never can answer a straight up question without playing around to dodge it.

John Travolta doesn't even make good movies anymore... He needs to get back to his mid 90s golden age when he was making movies like Broken Arrow, Pulp Fiction, Face Off, etc. Not Michael though, that movie sucked. LOL

7. If he's so upset, he should have the airport landing strips re-paved. How does he know jerks like him landing their big-ass airplanes there didn't cause the current crap conditions of the landing areas? Perhaps the owner went out with a jackhammer and broke it up just so Travolta couldn't land there anymore, huh? ...What an ego. Ohhh, and the owner "knows he's in big trouble for doing what he did"? What are we in 2nd grade? Let me guess no dessert or TV for a week? Get over yourself, Travolta (and lawyer)!

11. What an idiot!! The reason the owners gave, makes logical sense. The runways are damaged, in need of repair, therfore, they cant accomodate heavy planes.

Travolta, is making unwarranted claims. Why wouldnt they want him or his plane there? I am sure the owners do not have it out for him, is he crazy?

Travolta, is making this up, because he knows the airport needs repairs, and he is trying to force the owners to pay for it, when they may not have the money, so they are banning large planes. Isnt that their choice? I beleive its a privately owned runways. If he wants to use them, then pay to have it fixed.

12. if they lied then he should sue them what if he needed to land they should be sued

13. Why are the owners in "big trouble" ? If they own it, don't they have say so about who can use it? I'm not familiar with the laws. And Travolta's so rich, why doesn't he just build his own airstrip?

14. some people just have WAY TOO MUCH money. He is one of them.

15. wait, let me wipe my tears.

okay. maybe it is because he is flying his big ass plane all over the place during a time that many are worried over global warming. bottom line: it is their airport, and they should be able to do with it whatever they desire. that is what travolta would do.

why does he need such a big plane? he has a family of FOUR!
