John Travolta has a lot to celebrate right now as he can landed his license to fly a 737 plane.
The Grease actor, 68, has always been passionate about flight, and attended flying lessons when he was just 15 years old.
He went on to become a licensed pilot at the age of 22, and has given glimpses from the cockpit on Instagram many times over the years.
In a new video on the platform, he proudly stood in front of a huge plane as he shared his latest achievement.
‘Okay so, very proud moment in my aviation history,’ the pilot said. ‘To add my 747 and 707 licenses, I just received my 737 license. It went very well.
‘Just sharing my moment with you.’
John captioned the upload: ‘A very proud moment for me. I just received my 737 license.’
Right on cue, his famous friends flooded the post with congratulatory messages, hoping to be on his next adventure.
Naomi Campbell simply replied with a string of applause emoji.
‘Ata boy captain,’ Tommy Lee said, as Donnie Wahlberg agreed: ‘So very cool.’
While Sammy Hagar said what was on all our minds, adding: ‘OK JT. Where we going? That big boy will take us about anywhere nonstop. Let it rock.’
John has been in the cockpit of several planes since he was a teenager, and is known to own many of his own jets.

He has made us all supremely jealous on social media after sharing a string of videos of his recent flights, including an idyllic sunset journey and the moment he went to pick his daughter up from Berlin.
As you do.
The Saturday Night Fever actor’s home in Florida even includes a private runway, meaning he can head to the skies without waiting around in the airport for hours beforehand.
