mcrit,
On the B-707 and it's military variants, the inboard pod will scrape when the bank is greater than 8 degrees. The B-707 types with the CFM-56 engines tolerate less. As far as the gust on landings and takeoff, the gust is included in the limiting crosswind limit. If the maximum crosswind limit is 25 knots and the wind is 25 knots gusting to 26 knots, it's considered out of limits. Hope this helps. Take care.
Sincerely,
Amin Aur
