Yes it is, I am a regular visitor. The old girl will probably be in service for some time yet as she has paid for herself time over. When the clever tech's that look after her give up though, she will probably be sold. The tech's actually manufacture the parts which you cannot purchase any more.
Rumour is that there may be a move to Bremen from FFT on the cards?

Yes it will,
We are already contracted for 5 slots per month this year and are in the process of agreeing next years dates too.
It is as you say, one of the few remaining sims however, I can think of much more glamorous locations to go for a sim check. That said, I have been known to entertain myself quite nicely in FFT!
Cheers

Off the top of my head I believe there is one in the states and another in the mid-east but that is only an educated guess. I am going down to the sim mid feb to give a cx ride so i'll ask for you then if I remember?
By the way Smurfjet, why the interest. Are you currently strapping one of these ol'girls to your backside each day and if so for which outfit?
If you need more gen about the bigger picture feel free to ask.
Cheers Frottles.

Would like to get a few of the "new glass cockpit type" F/O's in the B707 SIM so they could realise what "flying" was about in the recent past. Wonder if they could keep the blue side up? Was on the 707 for ten years, wonderful aircraft and very reliable, but suffered a lot from airframe corrosion and stress cracking.

Would like to get a few of the "old farts cockpit type" Capt's strapped into a modern FMS Trainer so they could realise what "flying" is all about today! Sometimes you really wonder, if they know what is going on!
