John Travolta and HARS have just announced that his 707 is being donated to HARS (Historical Aircraft Restoration Society) at Albion Park airport just south of Wollongong. This is the same aircraft museum where VH-OJA now rests.

As a Wollongong local, I'm incredibly excited by this news and can't wait to watch it land!

I think jb747 is involved?

a 707 from 1964 eh, that makes it almost as awesome as an EH. I wonder if John T has ever driven one.
 
A good coup for HARS. I can't imagine the Founders Museum would have had any space had they been offered it.
 
Is he upgrading to one of the QF 747s sitting in Victorville?

Not really a coup. QF and JT is just trying to get someone else to spend the millions to get the aircraft up to flying condition. It can't fly from the US to HARS unless it's refurbished with HARS finding the money. Effectively they are buying the aircraft.
 
Better pull out my photos of John's 707 then (taken in 2004 at a Top 100 Qld QFF's dinner in a QF Hangar at BNE)
