John
Travolta
Will his next aircraft be a powered paraglider?
Many stars including William Shatner,
Leonard Nimoy, Harrison Ford, and John Travolta have fallen
in love with various forms of aviation. William Shatner
embraced PPG several years ago. Now John Travolta could
be the sport's next PPG celebrity pilot.
To the left is superstar actor John
Travolta with stunt coordinator and PPG pilot Jack
Gill with his Black
Hawk 172 paramotor. During the shooting of John's
latest movie, Wild
Hogs, in Santa Fe New Mexico, Jack set up his
Black Hawk in hopes of tempting John into the sport.
Jack lives in Los Angeles and flies on
a regular basis in the San Fernando Valley. Unfortunately
this time, Jack was not able to fly. A Park Ranger stopped
him saying that it was against park regulations. Pretty
amazing when you consider how much movie making hardware
was scattered all over the park.
Sorry, John. Maybe next time! |
