Hi Guys,
Just put the following up in Commercial but I guess it might be more appropriate to post here!!
We’re working on a project where we might have need of a 707 or DC8 in pax config to bring to Dunsfold (EGTD). Does anyone know of anything still operating?
Cheers,
Taifun

N707JT was in Paris in February, so European operations should not be a problem.

Boeing 707s still regularly operating are N88ZL operated by LOWA in VIP configuration and is possibly available for charter, and TZ-TAC by the Mali government which I would suggest may possibly be not. Both of these are Stage III noise certificated and I believe N707JT is Stage II, though it may be possible to obtain permission for some flights in the European Union airspace. VP-BHM DC8 is operated by Brisair, in VIP configuration and enquiries would be required to ascertain if it was available for charter work. SAHA examples are Stage I (un-hush kitted) and bearing in mind the current political climate I would suggest is a bit of a long-shot; but given diplomacy and determination…

Seek and ye shall find- an interior shot of VP-BHM from 2005:

With regard DC-8’s, I don’t know exactly how the interior is configured, but VP-BHM appears to still be operating VIP charters out of Geneva. I think she’s operated by a company called Brisair, but don’t quote me on that!

How about John Travolta’s?

Iran? 🙂
Other than that, G-RAAF at Manston. Not sure of it’s airworthiness at the mo though.
