The Dutch vegetable import company J.vd Berg signed a contract with the Ethiopian company Maeso Agricultural Estate to import 150 ton's of paprika and green beans. On 13 January 1979 the first Ethiopian flight touched down on Runway 24 but failed to stop before the runway edge, and ended up to 150 meters further in the soft grass and mud. During the night the remaining fuel was drained from the 707 and the 40 ton's of vegetables had to be unloaded by hand due to the soggy ground. The next morning the 707 was light enough to be towed out of the mud. In the evening the 707 was ferried to EDDF.

Damaged beyond repair and written off at Addis Ababa 25 Jul 1990 after an aborted take-off and runway excursion.

Originally built for Saturn Airways, but NTU.

This is a rare shot. This aircraft was leased from Ethiopian Airlines by Saudi Arabian Airlines and is operated in their full livery. The aircraft was destroyed at Addis Ababa on 25th July, 1990 following an aborted takeoff. An FAA Cv 240, USAF KC-97 and Israeli Airforce C-130 (4X-FBC) can be seen in the background.
