Skymaster Boeing 707 in Manaus

[Fris B. Fairing]

Do we have a reader with local knowledge who can confirm the identity of the 707 on the right please?



The photo was taken in 2011 so is the aircraft still there? Are Skymaster still operating? Any help much appreciated.

Skymaster 707

Nope. Long gone. Dismantled and gone before all the new airport construction work before the World Cup Games. The eyesore is gone - finally, after years of languishing off to the side of the tarmac.

Don't think I will bother getting my B707 manuals out of the attic

The DC-8 looks equally knackered. I'll not be blowing the dust off my manuals either.
