Forum rules
ImageThis is the forum to share your recent aviation photos with the rest of the community, being photos not older than six months at the moment of topic opening. Theme-based topics, not about recent events, should go into the sub-forum.
Although we will not screen beforehand, we reserve the right to delete any images, especially if clearly unsharp or otherwise low in quality. For more information on how to upload you images, check this post.
In topic titles, please use airfield names in stead of just codes, and be clear about what kind of photos your viewers can expect (e.g. CIV/MIL, location etc.).

Finally, bring any photo criticism understandable and to the point, not cynical or offensive! Simultaneously, do not feel offended by criticism per se, but simply explain your motives, taste et cetera, or ignore if you wish so.

Boeing 707

Post by Starman »

Many of you saw the nice white Israel Air Force Boeing 707s at Waddington last year, hopefully they will be around for a little while longer;

but did you ever wonder what happens after you leave them out in the sun for a while? Yes, they tan nicely & begin to sprout:

The debate over their replacement lingers on, and on, and on :D :D

If ever there is a new Israeli government a deal for 8 KC-46As appears to be the way forward.

Given the issues with that airplane, the Boeing 707s could be in service to around 2040.
