Private airplanes

While most have to slum it in economy class, with their knees touching their faces, and dealing with snooty airport assistants, lost baggage and in-flight food not good enough to feed a dog, the rich and famous fly on their very own private airplanes.Take John Travolta, for instance; he has a fleet of five jets that he captains himself (including a Boeing 707), and he even has his own 1.4-mile landing strip built into his backyard. Then there are Brad and Angelina, who have a small Cirrus SR22 airplane to jet back and forth when they feel like adopting another African child. And of course, Roman Abramovich, the rich Russian owner of the UK’s Chelsea Football Club, owns a Boeing 767 to ferry him from one peroxide blonde to another. It seems like the sky is the limit when it comes to private airplanes for the A-list jet set, as they guzzle gallons of fuel while preaching to us mere mortals about environmental conservation.
