It’s a Boeing CLOUD 707, both of you

Looks more like a Russian TU-95 Bear bomber.

I see a milky bone.

My, what friendly skies!

One farther happy day!!

I mentioned those venerable 707’s a few days ago. Built from 1958 to 1979. The story about Tex Johnston doing a barrel roll in the Boeing prototype of the 707 over boat races in Seattle is true.

Oops that slow network/web response did not prevent 4 copies getting posted. I deleted the extras. :-)

it is amazing what the mind can imagine.

Where is our commenter P51 Strega when we need him?

The easiest way to tell them apart is the DC-8 nose has two scoops on the underside of the nose. 707s have a pointier nose too.
