Save the 707

[N707ZS]

Once saved the intended use doesn't sound too good.
Save The 707

[DaveReidUK]

Has all the hallmarks of a scam.

[El Bunto]

Yep, fake phone number, no contact details and registrant information hidden on the DNS record. And also claiming that they'll do a "barrel roll" in a 707 which not even Tex claimed...

N88ZL has quite a history, first delivered to Lufthansa Airlines in 1966, registered D-ABUF; it subsequently was converted to VIP use by Sultan of Oman who changed the registration to N88ZL; we began operating this aircraft in circa 2003 under FAA Part 125.

I wonder if this was the 707 that flew The Eagles, Bill Clinton and Hugh Hefner?

N88ZL was based in Oman for many years but not operated by the Oman Royal Flight. It was captained by Ray Hanna for most of the time. Not surprisingly we witnessed a few interesting visual approaches when it was RTB without passengers!

That's the Dash-80. It's not a 707 - that came later.

With all due respect, you know full well the Dash 80 became the 707, hence people using either model number when referring to the roll.


This is the roll that Tex Johnson performed, my post was merely to highlight the point that whilst he didn't claim it, he certainly performed it.

[DaveReidUK]

With respect, I'd say the distinction was extremely relevant when we're talking about someone who says he's planning to do something that's never been done before.
