B707 at Brussels
Today i saw a B707 taking off from 25R at 20:20.
The main colour of the aircraft was white, but i think it had also some small blue lines.
Who knows more?
Was it a military plane or a cargo? Was it visiting Sabena Technics?

There is, this afternoon (14.00), a 707/KC-135 parked at Melsbroek next to where the A310's park. Could not identify it as I was overtaking at the time!
Maybe this was the aircraft you saw? In any event does anyone know the identity of this aircraft - definately not Spanish AF as was grey overall - as far as I could see.

I just saw this on planpictures.nethere
So apparently the spanishairforce has a B707/KC-135, it's maybe that one that you saw Meerkat.

Must have been a VIP/military plane from the USA/USAF.
I saw such four engined "white thing" landing 25R on evening of May 5.

Chris,
There where 3 ex Sabena 707s with NATO.
Currently one NATO B707 LX-N20199, ex Sabena OO-SJN, is alive.
The other one LX-N20198, ex OO-SJM, was retired in March 2000 and possibly broken up @ Napels later on.
And the third one LX-N19996, ex OO-SJL, was retired in March 1998 & broken up December 1998 also @ Napels.
But ofcourse also non ex-Sabena 707's of NATO come to SN technics for maintenance.
