Photo Comment

If you booked a holiday in Gambia back then, you stood a good chance of flying on this, although few would have realised it was the last 100 Srs 707 in commercial passenger service. Originally AA's N7585A and later went through identity crisis being registered YN-CDE, C5-GOB, HR-AMG, OM-WFA, 9Q-CJT, EL-WAM, 3D-ADK and 9XR-IS! Crashed on 4.7.02 at Bangui after running out of fuel while carrying a mixed load of passengers, garlic and onions
