In another photo, the "Faceoff" star reminisced on his time in aviation class with a throwback image showing him as a teenager, and other students. He wrote:

"Throwback Thursday: When I was 15 years old, my school offered an aviation class which started my second career."

As a pilot, it's easier to take his family globe-trotting, as his wife Kelly Preston, whom he shares two kids with once revealed that the family has been to different continents on her husband's plane.

One other experience that Kelly loves to talk about is her many dinner dates with her man. She told People that she feels good being married to a pilot, especially since it involves that they "jump on the airplane and go out to dinner."

His young son, Ben, is seemingly interested in daddy's piloting career. A picture featured the 8-year-old geared up in a pilot's helmet and sitting comfortably in the cockpit. The youngster looked ready to fly, as Travolta mentioned that he would soon be prepared to fill in his shoes.

His other child, Ella Bleu, is an upcoming actress who recently starred in a film featuring her dad and Morgan Freeman. Travolta is exceptionally proud of his family as much as he is of his country's war heroes, who will forever be remembered.
