John Travolta isn't allowed to be the pilot-in-command of his 707, though. Only the copilot. Lol

The DC-8 and 707 are from a similar era and look very similar to one another so I was sure that there was just some confusion here and I needed to ensure that everyone was correct

i swear i dont know how this poo poo works sometimes. my wife (who isn't a citizen), my son, and i flew overseas from o'hare earlier this year. when we got to security, they suddenly opened up an extra lane and the tsa agent waved us over. carry on went up on the conveyor, without taking our tablets out, and we just strolled through the metal detector, shoes on and all. literally took two minutes to clear security. very weird poo poo.
