I'm puzzled as to the reason why a 707 would have been at LAX in 1973! (As far as I am aware, in that year LAX was served via JFK by Super VC10s.)

"WHBM" - Thank you!

"Wayoutwest" - I imagine that the services to Frankfurt and Zurich were the first legs of routes to India, the Far East and Africa. BOAC also flew to Rome. Until 747-236s...
