The 707 in question is a TN reg. It crashed on the 7th of September after loosing the right main gear on LIFT OFF. The crew then came in for an emergency landing. The pilots lost control on landing, wich is not suprising considering they were now a few wheels short, and the aircraft veered of the runway losing the other main bogey in the process and the 2 right engines.
The aicraft is now lying broken and looking sad just off the runway opposite the apron. Most importantly, the crew walked away unharmed.
