slide taken by Norbert Kröpfl. - One of the Iranian Air Force B707s which were acquired as new aircraft in the 70ies. It still carries the old "IIAF" titles (for Imperial Iranian AF); this was changed to "IRIAF" (Islamic Republic of Iran AF) after the revolution in 1979. The aircraft was still active in 2020 and was seen in complete condition in 2022.

Very last opportunity to fly with a passenger Boeing 707 was in March 2013, with services ending in early April. I joined a flight with a group of pilgrims to the city of Mashad, near the Afgan border. The Iran Air force code 310 still on the nose of the airplane, the full registration is on the nosewheel door.
