Hi Andy,
I have Ercoupe N87112, Travolta's first airplane.  He sent me a bunch of
private pictures of himself with the plane.  He bought the plane by saving
money he earned from "Welcome Back Kotter".  While the 'Coupe was his
prize
possession then, he also had a 1955 T-Bird he loved.  The picture you
mentioned is of him imitating riding a bull.  I have another of him in the
same sort of pose, same clothes, except he's laying back against the
windshield holding his private pilot license (newly acquired) high in the
air.  Speaking of celebrities......this afternoon Patrick Swazey emergency
landed his twin Cessna in a housing development a mile from my house.  He
clipped light posts and a stop sign with the wings and took the tips off
but
was unhurt.  In fact, he climbed out and walked to the side of the road to
stop a vehicle for a ride to a telephone.  His explanation to the FAA and
local cops was, "I had a pressurization problem",  Right, you bet.  He
landed 10 miles away from the airport.......think maybe he had a fuel
problem??  He was going from L.A. to his ranch in Las Vegas, NM
Jim
