The Bon Jovi plane slid off the runway last night here in Canada.

I wonder if they were rehearsing songs from 'Slippery When Wet' on board when the accident happened!

Sorry to hear he had trouble. My neighbor's son is in a band, Beyond Tomorrow (www.rockbeyondtomorrow.com), that was the opening act for Bon Jovi's concert here in ATL last week.

He said Bon Jovi and his band members are a great bunch of guys.

Whose 707 would they have been using ?

More likely "Livin' on a prayer"!

They like the "old" aircraft, the transport for their 2003 Bounce tour was a BAC-111!

Could be Lowa Ltd. N88ZL?

Does anyone know what engines are fitted to N88ZL?

( Apologies for not really contributing anything worthwhile to the thread!)

Now that is a real aeroplane. Shame they don't make them like that anymore.

JT3D-3B (HK3) Presumably four of them:p

At risk of hijacking this thread AND sounding like a complete anorak.......

We parked up near this aircraft recently and I noticed the engines (or maybe just the cowlings) are very different to the usual engine/cowling combinations that you normally see on the venerable old 707.

Here is an old picture of N88ZL with the "normal" engine/cowling combination:-

And here is a close up of the same aircraft taken some years later, after a respray, and with very different looking engines/cowlings;
