Status på John Travoltas 707

http://www.nbcmiami.com/news/local/...buffer&utm_medium=twitter&utm_campaign=Buffer

Actor John Travolta brought his big 707 plane to the Commercial Jet repair facility at Miami International Airport – and only got it back after a legal battle.

The avid pilot says his aircraft was supposed to be there for two months and cost him about $500,000, but Travolta took the gloves off when he believed the repair facility was holding the plane – in essence – for ransom.

Det var et skikkelig kraftuttrykk ikke en gang en finnmarking klarer å gjøre bedre.

Siste stopp for Travoltas 707 er antagelig Brunswick, GA hvor 'Bill' tok dette bildet 28. desember.

Re: John Travolta med verkstedtrøbbel

Var på teknisk kurs i Miami på Pan Am flight academy for 14-15 år siden og da var John Travolta der på recurrent trening.
Han hadde privat undervisning i klasse rommet ved siden av.
Vinduet på døra var dekket til med gråpapir så ingen kunne se inn.
Han fikk lov å røyke der, betalte vel godt for seg.
I lobbyen var det masse småjenter som ventet spent på autograf og flyet hans var parkert utafor, han bodde på flyet isteden for hotel, mindre stress med paparazzier kanskje.
Har samme problemet selv, ikke enkelt nei:)

Ting går sakte men sikkert fremover Finansieringen er på plass fpr viktig vedlikehold, og det går mot overføring i 2021 en gang.

Just like anything involving complicated logistics and government approvals, trying to bring the former Qantas Boeing 707 back to Australian is proving more difficult than anticipated. One positive effect of the current COVID-19 pandemic is that it has given HARS time to complete essential maintenance on the rare aircraft.

Re: Status på John Travoltas 707

Disse Qantas-pilotene som nevnt i en eldre artikkel skal fly maskinen tilbake til Australia, må de gjennom ny utsjekk på maskinen eller har man mindre omfattende "midlertidige" godkjenninger for slike stunt? Ser for meg at det neppe kan være alt for mange sivile som er current på 707 i verden i disse dager.

Sikkert en håndfull Iranere som er kompetente i hvertfall?
 
Re: Status på John Travoltas 707

Omega Air har sin hovedbase i Brunswick og de bruker samme verksted. Sikker på at de fikser utsjekk.
 
Re: Status på John Travoltas 707

Siste nytt er at motorer og polons er av for litt kos og pleie. Neppe noen snarlig overføring så de tar det nok rolig og pent.

Gå til fraktergruppen min på Fjasboka (Cargo Aircraft Only) så ser dere dagsferske bilder. ;)
 
Re: Status på John Travoltas 707

HARS insisterer på at kjerra skal 'hjem'. Flere statusposter på Facebook lovr at prosessen går fremover.
 
Re: Status på John Travoltas 707

Hjem skal den, enten den skal gå, flyte eller kjøre .. ;)

707 Update
=========
Recently, HARS had a B707-138B Project Team led by HARS President Bob De La Hunty, in Brunswick (Golden Isles) Airport (BQK), Georgia to advance work and meet with those involved, including John Travolta (JT), who kindly spent most of a day with the team going over what we had achieved to date and what happens next.
HARS acquired this aircraft from John Travolta back in May 2017, and it has been undergoing limited maintenance at BQK – complicated by COVID – and required a comprehensive inspection before any further decisions were taken.
The Team resolved after reviewing all matters including the outstanding major US Federal Aviation Administration Airworthiness Directives (ADs) that it would take HARS many more years going down the path to fly the aircraft to Australia and a decision was taken not to fly the aircraft – John Travolta understood why HARS had made this decision and fully supported it.
We had sought repair schemes from Boeing who quoted to do the drawings for repairs after reviewing the material we sent them. However, to do the work now in the US is out of the question and no longer an option. A lot of work had been done on site late last year to explore the possible shipping option with a very professional aircraft relocation company. The outcome was to accept that the aircraft can be successfully dismantled
and relocated to Australia that way. The aircraft would then be reassembled at Shellharbour Airport to at least be able to taxi and after attending to the AD’s ……… who knows ??
The plan is to have the aircraft on display at the Airshows Downunder Shellharbour (ASDU) event next March 2026. HARS is working with John Travolta on a film release and maybe a documentary about the whole project as well. Before this can happen, HARS is waiting on the relocation company to confirm a date when they can start work, with HARS personnel assisting where possible.
