I saw that Trident at KJFK but cannot give a year except it had to be prior to 1977. I was driving on the service road near the inner perimeter taxiway when I saw a B727 on the outer going the other way. I noticed Arabic writing and then did a double-take as I spotted the bullet on top of the vertical fin and then the offset nose gear. Sometimes you see only what you expect and that is why my first thought was B727. Only other time I had seen them was on my European trips. I was with Eastern Air Lines then and we didn't get to service the Trident. Did work on the Hermes V many years before though when one came to the KIDL.
