Travolta jets for Katrina

Travolta jets for Katrina effort

Travolta, an experienced pilot, flew to Baton Rouge with his actress wife Kelly Preston before touring New Orleans.

He is among celebrities who have travelled to the area to offer help, including Oprah Winfrey and Sean Penn.

Author John Grisham, who lives in the stricken state of Mississippi, has donated $5m (£2.7m) to the aid effort.

Winfrey travelled to the Astrodome in Houston having already visited New Orleans.

Speaking with the refugees in the sports stadium she said she had witnessed the "inhumane" and "embarrassing" conditions they were forced to live in.
