Nothing. Except for the private pilot certificate, he does not need
any thing execpt a current medical to act as a co-pilot. He would
have to have a Flight Engineer's cert to sit at the sideways table in
the 707, but real pilots don' do that.


Well Mike,....I spent 10 years as a US Naval Aviator, the last tour
included about 5 months of combat missions in the Vietnam theater of
operations. I then joined Pan American World Airways in 1967 where
I spent the next three years sitting sideways in B-707s. Not really
a bad job if you consider that it paid more than the Navy, much better
working conditions, and the sideways seat was a lot closer to the
pretty girls in the back. (Remember, this was 1967). Checked-out as
B-707 PIC in 1972.

BTW, Travolta need not restrict himself to SIC duties with his Private
Pilot Certificate, he is legal to operate as PIC with as many PAX as
the B-707 is certificated to carry.

How many carrier landings have you made?
