Don't know the answer. But I was wrong. He has SIC on the 707 only, but no restriction on the 720

What's in a name?
Then, of course, they got it certified as a common type with the 707.

It's not a separate rating. Mine was gained via the EC-135 and says B707/B720. The story I heard was that United was interested in Boeing's planned short-range 707, but felt awkward explaining to their BOD why they now wanted a 707 after having recently rejected it in favor of the DC-8. Boeing replied: "No problem. Did we say 707? Oh, no -- this is a completely new airplane... it's the ...umm... 720!" Then, of course, they got it certified as a common type with the 707.

"Travolta is a licensed pilot and owns five airplanes, including an ex-Australian airliner, the Qantas 707-138. The plane bears the name Jett Clipper Ella in honor of his son Jett and his daughter Ella. Pan Am was a large operator of the 707 and used Clipper in their names. The 707 aircraft bears the marks of Qantas, as Travolta acts as an official goodwill ambassador for the airline wherever he flies. His US$4.9 million estate in the Jumbolair subdivision in Anthony, Florida is situated on Greystone Airport with its own runway and taxiway right to the door.[9]"
