John Travolta Sues Hometown Airport....
Actor John Travolta has filed a lawsuit against the owners of a Florida airport, claiming they falsified records to prevent him from landing his plane there.The Get Shorty star is suing Greystone Airport owners James and Christine Garemore for allegedly lying to the Federal Aviation Administration (Faa) in a 2006 report by saying their landing field cannot accommodate large airplanes such as his Boeing 707.Travolta claims that when he moved to the exclusive 'fly-in' community of Ocala, Florida in 2001 he was assured he would be allowed to land his airplane at Greystone Airport.Travolta's lawyer Michael Ossi says, "Mr. Travolta has been severely mistreated as a consequence of these acts and intends to vigorously pursue all appropriate legal recourse against these responsible parties".The lawsuit is seeking an injunction for the Garemores to withdraw their 2006 report and to authorise flights as had previously been permitted.James Garemore has responded to the legal action, saying, "The runway is not suitable for heavy aircraft. It is cracking and breaking. They are bringing this lawsuit against me and all I was doing was trying to maintain safety here".
