end of the nineties , some 20 years already times have changed twilight years of a true classic 707 ending their lives as freighters Tape recordings Memphis Air , TMA , Das Air , Tarom DHL 727-200
the busiest and last bastion for 707 freighters in Europe , last Tarom and Das Air 2001 , last TMA early 2002 , final regular 707 till early 2004 ( SU-AVZ , special cowlings , rare hushkits )
707 and 8 mainly African links , Accra , Kinshasa, Lagos , Mwanza , Entebbe , Kano , also Port Harcourt , Beirut and others , i guess all may be broken up by now , TMA demolished its whole fllet stored at Beirut , a swft!! operation :(
soon after this this plane was saved , engines removed , for Ostend Air College , teaching purposes for future pilots , initially in the original DHL colors , later revised paintjob , but finally was removed and demolished ,bad decision , history repeats itself when stored 707's and 8's were broken up as well years before this
@@patrickvereecke6654 yes it’s indeed sad my dad flew on the DHL 727 as a flight engineer before changing to Virgin express but it’s nice to see some of these lost planes on your channel keep it up and lots of succes wishes from Kortrijk!
