Kevin Keegan left St James' in a helicopter after his testimonial back in 1984, and some suggest Owen uses one to move back and forth to the Toon.
But he has moved permanently to Tyneside and that finally puts to rest any rumour he wants to move on.
No Helicopter For Owen
Owen said he wants to send his kids to school in the north-east, and he will certainly see out the two remaining years of his contract at Newcastle.
He also admitted he "wasn't aware" that, until his winner against Wigan on Saturday, only two of his eight strikes for United had been at St James' Park.

Owen is in eighth place in the all-time highest Premiership scorers list with 126 goals, and with only Andy Cole still playing in the top flight of the seven strikers in front of him.
Owen needs just two more goals to move above Jimmy Floyd Hasselbaink into seventh place.
