What happens when your neighbors complain because you park your Boeing 707 outside your home in your driveway.  Well…you pack up and move to a neighborhood with friendlier neighbors who don’t mind and then you buy enough land to build your own runway/driveway.

John Travolta’s love for aviation has been lifelong and his Ocala, Florida home is testament to his love of flying.  The layout of his home could be best described as “airportish” (not sure that is even a word…oh well, it is now).  It is located immediately off his main landing strip.  and connects to two out building structures by a canopied walkway.
