MNTTECH,
I think you're right about the date. I'm relying on increasingly frail memories. My memory of the investigation was that the DAR who authorised the ferry flight was a light aircraft man with no experience of transport jets and the FAA got a rebuke for that. At least one of the pilots wasn't current for the 707 and there was some issue with another. There was also a flt engnr on board. On man was killed immediately, the other died from injuries a few weeks later. WAs it Marana AFB they were going to?
