wow, i spent years as an engine aiirfarme mechanic on these beauties. then i was a flying spanner with Pointair, a French based cargo outfit with Boeing 707s, Then i got my o licence and became a flight engineer with Dan Air, and flew for years on their Boeing 727 fleet... All three of them! such happy days, they really were.
I never got to fly on a 707 but when I heard a KC135 with the JT3D engines and the screech as it flew over the sound is forever etched in my mind unlike anything I’ve ever heard nor will probably ever hear again… JT3D for life!!!
grew up in Indianapolis IN and dad would take us out to the airport. I remember hearing those engines and it was like they ran 24/7. Then a 727 would depart and shake the ground around us, lol.
I flew a number of times on the 707 as a child; I loved that plane so much, I even bought a model in kit form. While it might not have exactly ushered in the age of passenger jet travel, it nevertheless became an iconic symbol of that era. The appeal and excitement of air travel, when people dressed and, actually behaved, is sadly long gone.
The 707 and DC 8 absolutely ushered in the era of modern travel. True intercontinental journeys, encircling the world, when we all wore our best not because it was required but rather because we understood the specialness of what we were experiencing. As a child I constantly reminded myself about the miracle of flight and how lucky I was to experience 35k feet at 600 mph.

Patrick, I've complimented you in the past for your superb presentations featuring the first generation jets. So nostalgic! Brilliant, they never disappoint. I started spotting at age 16 at LHR and STN in 1960. I flew into Ostend in 1977 aboard a British Air Ferries Handley Page Herald. Such happy memories.

Patrick so sweet to have a collection of B707's landing and taking off at Ostende, old smokers are at the skies always, black nose cones up front. The misty weather makes them look like they partly mysterious to the eye.Patrick have a great weekend and catch you on the next flight.
Oi @heliooj5453 Os poucos Boeing 707 que ainda voam são versões militares (até onde eu sei) nos Eua,ainda assim tiveram suas turbinas trocadas por outras mais modernas.Sabe se ainda voa algum modelo civil (de passageiro ou carga) em algum país,e que ainda tenha as turbinas originais?

glad that you like , Ostend was last airport in W Europe with regular 707/DC8 freight operations , until early 2002 , afterward banned due to noise regulations
classic charm, with a sound to match , as well as extra flair , i do not waste my time on modern twin engined passenger jets , those have no interest for me , the real stuff matters , pilots in command , thank you
I love the uniqueness of these old birds! The noise level and extreme smoke...absolutely awesome! I love it! Today, all commercial aircraft look alike...boring!
The 707 is in the "top two" of my list of the most beautiful airliners of all time. I got to travel in a few of them, including the 720 variant (Aerolineas Argentinas, Braniff, MEA, Varig). The other one is of course Concorde. As overused as this comment is, I'll say it yet again: to me, the 707's JT3D sounds are like music. ...25:00 This TMA in all-green livery used to fly over my house on a daily basis. Finding it here is like meeting an old friend.
The 707 design with the sweepback of the wings and the low slung engines in pods under the wing was a first in commercial aviation. The rest of the jets like the DC-8 and Convair 880 and 990 just followed the leader. It was something like the F-86 Sabre in military aviation when it first came out.
I so remember the four engines Belching out thick Black smoke from each engine when the power was poured on.Filling the sky with smoke..the sound was increadable the whine the blades ringing clearly
I always loved this aircraft as well as the 747. First flew inter city in a 707 in 1970. Once I flew from New York to Karachi on a 707 with a stopover in London. Total flying time around 15 hours
707 and your JT-3 don't producing beautiful sound but a symphony. Smoke and the smell of kerosene finished off the flavors of a good spotting. True, today are other times without noise, odor or smoke. Spotting ensues but I have been able to live that time.
Awesome video! Any time 3- and 4-engine jets are featured is a good thing, especially those high pitched screams and roaring thunder like those on the 707 that would rattle nearby houses, along with the 4 trails of black smoke, LOL. Brings back great 1970s-80s memories of visiting relatives who lived right next to JFK Airport in New York. Came across the channel and immediately subscribed.
I still see VP-BAP operating out of Van Nuys every once in a while. 727-100 is the most beautiful looking jetliner in flight and still looks thoroughly modern.
Man!! That just brings tears to my eyes watching those 707's takeoff and land. There's a small percentage due to the enormous amount of thick, black smoke emitted (likely a reflex action). But the majority of my sadness comes from an absence of character in today's designs. Thanks for the great videos and excellent sound! 😊
They say that future virtual reality will be delivered directly into the nervous system. So perhaps one day we will effectively be able to travel back to the past and take our favorite flight, with every detail registering as if it were real.
Thanks for that information, Chris. I was afraid of that being the case but remained hopeful until you gave me a dose of reality. Luckily, there are some folks who are able to take me back in time with these excellent videos.
@@stephenmajor5498 Actually, maybe not quite. While driving a few years ago through Georgia, I heard the distinct sound of the JT9D engines. Music to me ears! As I expected, there was an airbase near by. I had thought all the KC-135s had been retrofitted. But as of a few years ago, at least, I was pleasantly surprised.
@@cchris874 Actually, I had forgotten about the few unmodified '135's. I remember seeing one on RUclips, but had no way of knowing the actual date of filming. I even looked at the vehicles in the background to get some idea of the date taken. Well...I couldn't identity even one in the 30min. video and definitely had no clue what year they were built. I obviously don't know anything about the cars of Europe other than the major manufacturers.
My very first flight was on a 707 of SAA, from London to Johannesburg in 1968. Flight took 14 hours via Paris and Las Palmas, SAA was not permitted to fly over Africa.
These ole B707 turbojets are like the hillbilly Dodge Cummins guys "rolling COAL". This was back when the didn't trust the air, unless they could see it !
My volume is stuck on 100% am I allowed to put a claim in for ear damages, only joking, this era has sadly passed now. I remember being at Manchester Airport in the early 1990s plane spotting seeing Air Hong Kong, Tarom, & Air Gambia 707s, I so miss the noise.
I live in upstate NY. Early in the 1960's my father took me to our county airport to see the first jet to land at the airport. I'm pretty sure it was a 707 . Today, the only jets that land there are military jets in the air show . The area isn't the booming area it once was . All we have is puddle jumpers
passenger and cargo version are no longer in service , two Omega 707 's are still " available " , of course military KC135 and AWACS examples are still active !
Unfortunately I never flew on a 707, but I did fly several times on DC-8s and Convair Coronado 990As, which were equally loud and smoky! 😁 Furthermore, Spantax, whose Coronados took me the Canary Islands from Helsinki quite a few times, had a terrible safety record. And I'm still alive!
It's weird to see four engines mounted on the planes that size because passenger jets about the size of the 707 can fly with just two engines nowadays .

When I feel a little down, I watch this 35min clip, and the sound and grace of a Boeing 707, gives me the uplift I need.

Buenos tiempos de nuestra industria de aviacion👏👏👏👏👏👏💯
The spooling up of four JT3Ds was the symphony of the golden years of the Jet Age.
grew up in Indianapolis IN and dad would take us out to the airport. I remember hearing those engines and it was like they ran 24/7. Then a 727 would depart and shake the ground around us, lol.
The fuel to noise ratio on those old birds was magnificent!
I love watching to see ehich TMA bird was the fastest rolling take over. The one in the video of the early 80s TMA livery does it for me - stunning

I was lucky enough to have flown in a 707-320B. The JT3D's throttling up and down gave a shove in the back which was quite exciting.
The sounds of the turbines of the 707 are unique
Just awesome. Those were the days at Ostend !
