Do we know if his 707 has had the engines modified to be more fuel efficient and less polluting?

Modern, efficient engines won't fit on a 707 (they are too fat).

According to the article from this thread Travolta's "carbon footprint" is 100 times more than the average (Britons).

No, those are the original fuel burning engines.

The 707 has been re-engined with much more powerful and quiet fuel efficient engines, the National Guard of AZ has them for their refueling wing.
