The rumour about John Travolta purchasing Qantas 747-SP VH-EAA is just that - one big rumour, with no truth to it. It is known that he did have some initial talks with the airline months ago about that particular aircraft, but no deal was reached, and certainly nothing will come of it now. The fact the the Herald newspaper ( I think it was, or maybe the Age ) was sprouting this story again a week or so back did not help matters.
VH-EAB is now a sorry sight at Marana with engines, APU, avionics suite and undercarriage removed. EAA is following the same path. Both aircraft have had the data plates removed, and can only be used for scrap recovery or a possibly static museum exhibit.
