Something visual ain't matchin' the verbiage.

Hum... just guessing... it isn't a Boeing aircraft on the picture?

Pretty sure that it's a DC-8.

All the other guesses are correct, but I noticed that they're advertising
for COBOL programmers - which was still happening in '98.



Since then, I'm told that COBOL skills are poison on your CV, as if it was
that language that caused global warming in the first place.

It's a DC-8.

It's not one of the 60-series cargo stretches, but ouside of that I'm
not sure of which variant.

The giveaway is the set of ram air scoops on the nose at 5 & 7
o'clock.

I could be mistaken here, but perhaps the flaps don't look quite right
for a 707- didn't most 707s have a more slotted style?

Just one more telltale possibility - the leading edge looks like the
straight-line 30 degree sweep of DC-8s while 707s had 35 degrees, and
a lot of types had an extra-sweep sleeve between the fuselage and the
inboard engines.

My Boeing book is in the next room, but I just ate and got too
comfortable to move.

I was thinking 707. Why do you think DC-8?
