Varig bought this 707 November 4, 1968 after it was built for Saturn Airways but not taken up. After 20 years with the airline, it was sold to the Brazilian Air force. Unfortunately during it's final Varig flight on January 3, 1987, the aircraft crashed returning to Abidjan-Felix Houphouet Boigny Airport, Cote d'Ivoire after an engine fire indication.
