Plane has a lot of history, Sinatra once owned it

"Travolta's 707 was originally designed to carry 140 passengers and was among Qantas' hardest working aircraft during its years of service, but ended up becoming a luxury private jet for 25 people, complete with bedroom and en-suite, a full kitchen, dining and lounge areas.
Ol' Blue Eyes himself, Frank Sinatra, was among its other celebrity owners before Travolta got his hands on the aircraft.
Travolta struck a deal with Qantas which continued to maintain the 707 while he owned it in return for Travolta becoming the airline's celebrity ambassador, a role the actor embraced with gusto."
