The earliest Iran Air plane is c/n 19267.
The prototype 707, c/n 17158 doesn’t really count as it was a one off and smaller than any other 707.:D
The youngest USAF air frame is c/n 18949.

Some of the USAF’s 707s have got to be getting on to 40+ years by now!

Not quite correct Steve, VH-XBA, c/n 17696 is relegated by 4X-JYW, c/n 17617 which is in the Israeli Air Force Museum at Hatzerim.
Both of which are presumably younger than the dash 80 prototype…

I believe the Qantas 707 restored and flown back to Australia from Britain last year is the oldest in existence

My guess for the oldest civilian 707 flying would be 9Q-CLK, c/n 17702 of Hewa Bora Airways and the oldest military 707 would be c/n 17921 of the Israeli Air Force.
