Was a great plane...
Last I flew to its "permanent desert retirement" was about 1993.
Some former civilian 707s still flying nowadays in South America.
Argentina, Brazil have a few. But they are operated by the military.
If any other still flying in Africa would be Congo-Kinshasa, besides Sudan.
There are a few flying with JT8D low-noise STC...
Saw a fairly recent picture in a magazine of one.
Many of the NATO AWACS are ex-civilian 707s...

Happy contrails
