After a hectic first three days of headline making, Paris must be slowing down, as Reuters took time out to interview actor, pilot and show visitor John Travolta, "looking relaxed and wearing sunglasses and trainers" (obviously not a journalist, then). He talks about flying the A380, which Reuters, ever the business newswire, uses as an opportunity to mention the A380 delays and EADS troubles. "I was the first non-test pilot to fly that and I'm telling you it's a very easy plane to fly, but technically complicated," he says. Travolta says he is due to fly Boeing's F/A-18F Super Hornet fighter at Paris on Saturday, but insists he is not at the show shopping for something to park next to the 707 on his private runway.
