Travolta really loves planes and flying, which is awesome. He’s been fortunate to share this passion with his good friend Marlon Brando, flying together as co-pilots on several flights. Travolta had hoped to fly alongside legendary aviators like Howard Hughes, a brilliant but troubled man known for his skills in aviation.
Hughes was brought back to life in the film, “The Aviator” when Leonardo DiCaprio took on the role. His other dream co-pilot would have been Charles Lindbergh who was the first person to fly solo, non-stop all the way over the Atlantic Ocean. Unfortunately, both of these ambitions will remain dreams for John as both Lindbergh and Hughes sadly passed away many years ago.
