Boeing 707 N711UT/9Q-CRY
Does anyone have any details on the operation of the above aircraft during the late 1970s and early 1980s?
She was fitted out as a freighter but about 1975, though with no main-deck cargo door.
Think she might have been a gun-runner at one stage. Also reported as damaging some of Lulsgate's lights and fence on t/o in 1980?
Probably used on freight flights out of UAE but I have not a lot more.
Any info would be much appreciated!

As with other ladies of this type and age she has had an interesting career. After life with Pan Am as N723PA and JAT as YU-AGA she appears to have used 9Q-CRY and TC-JCF, both of which were allocated to other airframes. 9Q-CRY was a Lockheed L188 and TC-JCF was a 707 of Bosphorus Air Transport/Turkish Air Cargo
Still looking around for the incident at Lulsgate which was reported in Flight International at the time.
