Piloting his Boeing 707 from Germany back to New York Oscar nominated actor John Travolta was forced to make an emergency landing at Shannon Airport in Ireland. Travolta’s private plane began experiencing engine trouble shortly after leaving Germany but he was able to guide the aircraft to Ireland and avoid disaster.
The 53-year-old Hollywood star was a bit shaken after navigating the bird to the ground and opted to hire another plane to get back stateside.
Travolta was in Germany promoting his film “Wild Hogs” that partners him with Tim Allen, Martin Lawrence and William H. Macy.
