John Travolta has now included the 737 in his aeronautical CV. He recently got his 737 license and was happy to announce it to his Instagram followers, saying,

“Okay, so a very proud moment in my aviation history. To add to my 747 and 707 licenses, I just received my 737 (pilot) license, and it went very well.”

Travolta chose the jumbo jet 747 and a four-engine passenger jet 707 before getting certified on a smaller, 2-engine 737. The actor has an extensive collection of planes, including a Bombardier Challenger 601, a Boeing 707-138B, and an Eclipse 500.

The Pulp Fiction star bought the 707 for $77 million around 22 years ago, tricking it out for another $20 million. The jet can accommodate up to 150 passengers, but John reconfigured it for 15 passengers. It also has two bedrooms alongside a bathroom and shower.

John Travolta resides in a private aviation community in Florida that has a runway. He parks his airplanes just like how others do for their cars. He has been flying since he was 15 and received his first license in 1978.
