Well that lot stirred a few memories. The Iranian 707 has to be the pick of the bunch. Who was operating the 720 with the stars? I think the CP Air colour scheme has to be one of my favourite schemes of all time.
Now go and find some more to post.
Cheers
Shaun

Absolutely brilliant! Takes me back to some of my best days ever. Have another look at the Air France Caravelle and see the number of people standing on the pier, looking at the Laker Skytrain. Wonderful memories  |

I saw the 720, if I remember correctly it was for the Peter Frampton tour - It was also the same aircraft (but different colour) seen at the end of the Led Zeppelin film 'The song remains the same'. Happy days ;D

I was lucky enough to see an Imperial Iranian Air Force Boeing 707 around that time - might have been the same one...  |

Cracking pic.
Is that a missile or pod on the wing tip? or is it just an illusion due to the paint job?

Cracking pic. Is that a missile or pod on the wing tip? or is it just an illusion due to the paint job? Refuelling drogue housing I think (shows it is not the same aircraft as the one above). It also has the KC-135 style extending refuelling probe under the rear fuselage. See www.iiaf.net/aircraft/tankerstranspt/images/B707REFUELLINGUSAFF-111_jpg.jpg which shows an IIAF tanker refuelling a USAF F-111 !! It also shows that the wing-tip pod is a drogue housing.

Times have changed, doubt any Iranian would refuel a US military aircraft now. Cracking shots coming into the forum lately.
