Anyone any idea which was the 707 which was standing at Abelag on Friday morning?
I didn't have time to go and see it from close by. It was about 6am in the morning so it was pretty dark to see the details from a distance. The only thing I could see was that it weren CFM engines but old, smoky, noisy (I love it!!) JT8's.

Greetz,

Hi BieleAlbatrosy,

It wasn't a 707, but a KC-135E tanker from the USAF, serial 58-0005.
