Visiting NAS Jacksonville during a period when US President Gerald Ford and Egyptian President Anwar Sadat conducted talks at Deerwood Country Club and Epping Forest, then the estate of financier Raymond K. Mason, who headed The Charter Co., a conglomerate with extensive holdings in the Middle East. A crowd of 7,500 led by Mayor Hans Tanzler was on hand to greet President Ford when he, his wife, Betty Ford, and Secretary of State Henry Kissinger landed in Air Force One at Jacksonville Naval Air Station. Two USAF VC-137s/VC-135s can be seen behind the Egyptian 707. Photographer not known.

Delivered to the Egyptian Government as SU-AXJ in 1974. To Omega Air as N707KN in 2005 then to the Israeli Air Force as 295 in 2011. Still in service in 2023.

slide scan from the NK collection. - SU-AXJ was built in 1974 and served for the Egyptian Government for 31 years. It was converted to a KC-135 and sold to the Israel Air Force / IDFAF as "295". In July 2021, the Boeing was seen as such again, when it made one of the rare visits outside of Israel - destination was Munich, just like the aircrafts destination 45 years ago.

Less than a year old when it brought Egyptian officials to the Paris Air Show, this was parked away from the large crowd at the Paris Air Show on a gloriously sunny Saturday

Delivered new to Egyptair in 8.74 then taken over by the government for presidential use almost exactly ten years later. Stored at San Antonio after acquisition by Omega Air in 2005 in basic colours (the scheme changed many times during Egypt's state use) and ironically passed to the Israeli AF as 295 at the beginning of 2011
