John Travolta has donated a jet plane to a museum in Georgia in honor of his late son. The aviation enthusiast – who is a qualified pilot – and his wife Kelly Preston were left devastated in 2009 when 16-year-old Jett died after hitting his head during a seizure while in the Bahamas and John has decided to pay tribute to him by bequeathing a G-2 Gulfstream executive jet to the Georgia Aviation Hall of Fame at the Museum of Aviation.
Chrissy Miner, spokeswoman for Robins Air Force Base, told the Telegraph newspaper in Macon that the plane is being prepared for a static display for an upcoming air show scheduled for April 28 and 29 and will then be towed to the museum.
Following Jett’s death his parents set up The Jett Travolta Foundation, a non-profit organization which has given away approximately $56,000 since it was set up.
