QANTAS N707JT Missed Approach
Does anybody know whether John Travolta was PIC N707JT, QANTAS Livery 707 at YMML. The first approach had to have them at least 500 meters right of the localizer abeam Bulla and less than 400 ft AGL when the broke visual today. about 0020Z today.
They went around and came back again on the localizer
Would have made heaps of noise over Bulla today.

Imagine the posts about him executing a missed approach if he HAD been captain!!.
If his history was researched, people would discover that he is a much better pilot than he is given credit for!!.

John Travolta’s Boeing 707 at Flightstory.net - Aviation Blog
John Travolta is a pilot with a life long passion for aviation. Since earning his wings in 1974, he has logged close to an astounding 5,000 flying hours. Literally every cent of his first paychecks went to flying lessons. He achieved qualification as a captain in the Gulfstream II, Learjet 24, Hawker 1A, Citation 1 and 2, Tebuan and Vampire Jet. He owns the type rating for the Boeing 707 and is certified for SIC privileges (Second In Command). Travolta keeps his skill up-to-date through continual refresher courses, training at American Airlines, SimuFlite and others.

I seem to remember reading somewhere that not only is he qualified as PIC for his 707 he is also qualified as a 747 FO, courtesy of Qantas.
I seem to remember reading somewhere that the insurers of his 707 require him to have a PIC from a mainstream background. I'm sure he's fully qualified, of course, but presumably doesn't have the hours on type.
