We have all seen and appreciate the Repaint of John Travolta's 707, as it appears today. How about a true "Historic Repaint" of that aircraft, as it appeared in before he got hooked up with Quantas, and do it in these colors. To me, that was a pretty sharp paint scheme.

HMMM .... looks like a Ben job I'd say !  We'll see what happens anyway !  Actually .... I think that particular aircraft has supported at least 2 other variations of "JET CLIPER JOHNNY" livery .... prior to his hooking up with QANTAS and the aircrafts current QF "V-JET" guise. Mark C BOG/CO |

Apparently this same 707 was also owned by Frank Sinatra from February 24, 1972 until 1975. Anybody know what it looked like during this time?
Regards,
Jim
