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

Has all the hallmarks of a scam.

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...
Close the tab and move on.

ABOUT THE
PLANE N88ZL
N88ZL has flown The Eagles Music Group, several heads of state, including former US President Bill Clinton, and Hugh Hefner.
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. It has flown to approximately 100 countries since 2003
Among others, N88ZL has flown The Eagles Music Group, several heads of state, including former US President Bill Clinton, and Hugh Hefner.

The first 707 aircraft that we managed was actually a Boeing 720A model, former United Airlines aircraft N7224U, also known as Caesar’s Chariot; among others N7224U flew the Bee Gees, Fleetwood Mac, and The Eagles.

N88ZL has a remarkable experience of flying top officials and celebrities all around the world. Some of them includes several heads of state former US President Bill Clinton, The Eagles Music Group and Hugh Hefner.

I wonder if this was the 707 that flew The Eagles, Bill Clinton and Hugh Hefner?:8:E:E

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 9th Nov 2017 21:31

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.
