THE SKY'S THE LIMIT
Flying is a true passion of John's. As a child, he used to see his older
sister Ellen off at the airport every time she went out of town for an acting
job. That is when he first became enamored with the world of aviation.
Taking it a step further, he had his female schoolmates use their Brownie
uniforms to play flight attendants as he captained his imaginary backyard
airline. He doesn't have to play make-believe anymore. Today, Travolta
captains a small fleet of his own jets, which makes shooting on location and
commuting home to spend time with his family enjoyable and easier.
Travolta is married to actress Kelly Preston. The two first met in 1987 on
the set of The Experts. Three years later, they met again when Travolta was
shooting Look Who's Talking Too and Preston was shooting Run, both in
Vancouver. After months of romancing, the two were off to Switzerland for a
winter vacation with friends. It was New Year's Eve when John found himself
on one knee proposing to Kelly. They were married in Paris the following
year. The couple has one son, Jett, and just added a daughter, Ella Bleu, in April.
