Ex SN 707 to be scrapped

Post by Coronado »

Former Sabena Boeing 707-329 OO-SJN performed its last operational flight for NATO and is due to be scrapped at Maastricht Airport !
Full details here : http://www.luchtvaartnieuws.nl/nl-NL/Ar ... ng_707_TCA
Amazing that this bird ( delivered to SN in 1969 !!! ) was still active !

Amazing indeed, and always sad to see a plane go (especially a classic one like a 707). still, I think the US Military still has a load of them flying around (and plan to use them up to around 2030).
