Travolta in Airport Trauma

136. I wasn't aware it was a huge problem to fly into Ocala Intl. and it's true, that runway isn't in good shape -- http://www.airnav.com/airport/17FL -- So says the FAA!

138. What is it with these scientologist - commerically holier than thou. He's pulled a Tom Cruise. He better rectify the situation soon - or there's no coming back. Sueing cause you can't land your 707 at a small regional aireport is the epitome of an elitist. Jerk.

John I always thought you were the greatest. But, this act really shows your true character.

140. Some of you people need to look in your hearts. We made Mr.John T what he is today. How come some remarks are so bad. He worked for what he has. Let him have his Day in court. Like the rest us would want. American is going down the wrong path. If it not this to pick on then something else. Some of you people need to think back from were you came from. Lets us all try to live the american thing whatever. I'am the vn/gw retire disabled vet just tired of all the bs we do to each other from the govt to the regular humane. Life is to short and hard tocontiune down this road. Try and make somebody's day . Yell at the one's that are killing us. Have a great American day.

141. If he can't land his jet there, how is he going to take off so he can drop nuclear bombs into volcanoes and save us from XENU?
Please, please Mr. Airport owner, let John Land. If what we hear is correct he will "reward" you any way you want...any way.
It's funny to see all the area Scientology clones come out and defend Travolta the second something negative is said about him.
He is fat, he is a closet bisexual, he is hiding his son, he is married to a beard, he is a mediocre actor and he is overrated, he is a member of a dangerous cult. Saying what is true does not make us jealous of him.
I would not be him for all the money in the world.
I am sure he is in a difficult position. The Scientologists will destroy him (i'm sure they have pics and testimony) if he says anything negative. He has a good life so why should he?
I just wish he would go away.

142.

Travolta pissed off his neighbors in one of his other neighborhoods, too.
In Isleboro, Maine, the neighbors complained about the same thing. Flying the big jet in/out at ungodly hours...maybe, as a compromise, Johnny should just get a smaller plane.
OOPS; that wouldn't work; his ego wouldn't fit in it.

143. 151. That's true. I live nearby and can vouch for what you said. Around here he's known as a not very nice person, full of himself, treating the locals as peasants. He's a very strange acting person, almost as if he wasn't quite right in the head.

Posted at 6:33PM on Jul 22nd 2007 by That's true

144. All you need to know about Travolta is that he refuses to give his autistic son the medical help the boy so desperately needs. That says it all doesn't it?

146. I love it when the liberal hollywood elite get their noses bent out of joint by those that are unimpressed by their fame and wealth tell them NO! As a privately owned airport the owners have the right to set the weight limits as they wish, even if it's one ton under the weight of Travolta's plane. I this upsets him so, he should make an offer to buy the airport and then other rich people can demand to use it and he can pay for any repairs or maintance issues. Come on John pony up the bucks, you have pleanty!

148. Re: 'As for his money, he worked hard for it.' posted by jeanie (appx #75).

I could fill a coliseum with laborers who work far harder than JT all their lives, yet who can't afford to insure their families! Hard work, my ass.

These super-rich people have lost all perspective. And, no...I'm not jealous. I know that money does NOT buy happiness.

This is such a smarmy example of conspicious consumption. I get a picture of a 2-year-old, throwing a tantrum, saying "I wanna land my big plane at the airport, and drive my little plane home!!!"

Also, did anyone else find it weird that JT wants to be able to see his 'little' plane from the window?

d anyone else find it odd

149. Hey Avrim, #151...

LOL -- GOOD ONE!

150. I think people should leave John and his family alone, hes earned his money and hes been flying into that airport for awhile and if it really is cracking the runway im sure Mr. Travolta would have no problem helping replace it, but people complain that hes a baby and spoiled well guess what people hes earned that and if we had the money he did we would be pissed too if we couldnt fly our plane into the airport, and one more thing you call him fat boy well hopefully the ones who are saying that only way 100 pounds soak and wet... Leave the man alone.... Keep up your good work Mr. Travolta
