707 at STN?

Just wondering if anyone knows the reason why B707 N88ZL has flown from STN to JFK today?

It belongs to a company registered in Basle and Miami and connected with the aviation industry. It has also visited Shannon.

Re: 707 at STN?

It's been into various European airports before, and is regularly used by big bands/music artists on world tours, so was just wondering if it was over here on one of those kind of fucntions?

Eos is a very good shout I reckon.

I know it's carried Wrestling, 50 Cent and The Eagles before!

(Not at the same time though - it'd be like Big Brother!)

N88ZL flew KPAE-KJFK on 07/01 then KJFK-LEBL on 08/01 & then LEBL-EGSS-KJFK 09/01

From memory, KPAE is Everett, KJFK is New York JFK, LEBL is Barcelona whilst EGSS is obviously Stansted

Flew Tiger Woods group into Shannon June 2005 for a golf classic and then to Prestwick a few days later for the Open Championship so is isnt that long ago since it visited the UK. It then returned to Shannon were it spent two months sitting on the ground doing nothing...
Oouch.....hate to see that parking bill!

AWR, From what I gather, she flew in from KOKC (oklahoma city) that day and has been to Boeing field, and South America in the past few weeks.

I did a look about a.net for some photos and found these shots:

Are Bon Jovi using this 707 for their 'Have a Nice Day' tour, including the European legs?




Anyone know what U2 will be using this year for the rest of world part of their Vertigo Tour?
