B-707

Hey, that photo of the 707 reminded me of a question that has bugged me for YEARS....

Does anyone know why three of the four engines have little ducts on top, but one of them (I think its No 1 engine) doesn't????

[Peter Fanelli]

The engines with the little ducts at the top are fitted with turbo compressors for cabin pressurization.

It can vary somewhat, I think you could choose from having 2, 3 or 4 on the aircraft.

I understand that the three I picked out are all different series but I believe if you search further you will find variations with in the -100/-300/-400 subgroups.

Just trying to figure out how to submit photos. IF this works I may be able to join in.

[Peter Fanelli]

Pretty sloppy track and altitude keeping if you ask me. Ten feet low good enough for you is it?

Check out the Alt if you can. Big hills over there.

Is your name Mr RVSM? I say good enough for a Cessna auto pilot in reasonably rough conditions. Certainly better than I could do.

[Jamair]

Yair, Grog, you got the idea, but make em 'web' size 320x240 instead of 'email' size 640x480 and they fit the page width a little better.

[XRNZAF]

Interesting, thanks Mr Fanelli....

[Ovation]

Any guesses as to where (in WA)?

[Dave Incognito]

Background looks like El Questro, but there doesn’t seem to be enough scrub around the runway.
