Oldest Operational Boeing 707?

It's kept in Seattle and Boeing still flies it out for airshows and such. http://www.airliners.net/search/phot...&keywrange=all |

Somewhat related by the Australian Air Force does still have at least 1 707
which is sometimes used by the Prime Minister. Unfortunately no Air Force 1 for the Aussie PM. "James Anatidae" wrote in message ...

Unfortunately no Air Force 1 for the Aussie PM. The Pime Minister uses 2 Boeing BJ. Frank Yes, I've seen these but it was only relatively recently (last 12months or so) on a trip he made to Singapore I did see a 707 on the tarmac and could only assume that he came in on that aircraft. |

I don't know if any of them are still flying, but as a flight crewmember at PanAm, I logged a lot of flight time in four of the first six B-707-121s. N-707PA--N712PA. N-708PA and N-709PA had crashed before I joined the company in 1967. Bob Moore ATP B-707 B-727 PanAm (retired) |

N707GE is still flying - owned and operated by General Electric [707 321F - April 1960] Nope, it hasn't flown for a while. Has been sitting at MHV for years. a couple of older models are with the Embassy of Saudi Arabia and the Israeli Air Force [1959] These, too, are collecting dust on the ramp somewhere. Are you getting your data from Bill Harms' jet aircraft census? An excellent resource, but not 100% reliable. |
