Yeah, I agree. I remember the 707s sorta disappeared after the early-mid 1980s. But they were louder than other commercial aircrafts at the time and since. So we're the VC10s. Both VC10s and 707s had those narrower engines (707s had 4 on the wings and VC10s had 4 on the rear), and I believe one of the reasons those engines were louder was because they were an older style and that they weren't as fuel efficient as today's airliners. And I think they used a different type of fuel, it had a very distinct smell that you could always smell at airports back in the 1970s and early 80s, I remember that smell, and it sorta disappeared after the 707s and VC10s, and I think a couple other types of aircrafts also, were no longer around
14:20 of Boeing 707 action ONLY 😍😍 What an amazing video!!! 04:15 I was really in sorrow that the das air cargo guy might have wasted too much runway before td in order to come to stop in time... Want these times back... not only the acft, but also everything else... and yes, I would also give away my smartphone 😂
Same over here , too much sophistication can be a curse in due time , just like cars , keep it simplier and more reliable , also longevity matters , in today's world is not the essence , spending money and more money , due to environmental issues , aicraft , cars , and many others will never last that long , i can tell from my own experience , also everything is regulated , rules and more rules , lots of freedom gone ( money matters especially ) , nostalgic memories remain , but those were the best times ( former past ) ever , btw concerning a smartphone i do not want one , as long is i can a refuse to enter the main stream behaviour , i am not against progress , but i disapprove of big brother watching us , however this is an unmistakable fact !!
@patrickvereecke6654 I would sign this for 100 % Today, everything must be available immediately and at all time, more and more rules, not only in aviation but in whole life, things of daily life get more expensive nearly on a daily basis... no wonder that people are getting mad and depressive...
Noticed on the DAS Air Cargo, only engines two and three had turbo compressors. Always thought the 707-320B & C had three turbo compressors and only the 720s (and maybe 120B) had two.
Patrick this has to be their finest hour a classical sound of music like none other so uplifting to listen to from those years ago. The time of John F Kennedy and before his time. Then continuing through the Nixon Presidential years.The Air Force One of the day so great a plane for travel of the US Presidential staff before the new Air Force One the B 747 Notice a lot less black smoke probably due to a combustion chamber wash I presume.So nice video work is awesome. Patrick have a good week and catch you on the next flight.
I always wondered what were those horizontal antennas coming out of the front top of the tails on 707s? Were they an antenna for the pilots and the control towers to communicate? If so, how come other commercial aircrafts haven't had them?
HF shortwave antenna pointing forward of the vertical stabiliser , univac couplers were needed for long range over the ocean communications, (12 000 units for communication systems during the 1953-1970 period ) , modern designs use a slot mounted in the fin leading edge or fuselage , remember piston airliners had the HF antenna string from the top of the fuselage to the top of the vertical stabilser

Now that's what REAL jet engines sound like!
80s and 90s good era for spotter, 707 and DC8 sounds are symphony

Old school is super cool!👌🏾
A really impressive beast! If only Boeing made them as well as that today! Good views of those huge flaps!

10:33: A 707 Combi!
It is so beautiful!!!!!!

some 707's had only two !

Good grief, the 707 can really scream!
Just look at the stack of planes in the background!!!
Man, I'm also curious as to what their interiors look like. Anyway, it's a shame that it wasn't at Corpus Christi International airport.
Самый лучший среди боингов
indeed , the best among Boeings , spaciba !
Me gustaba mucho este avión, pero muy ruidoso y contaminante 😔

Still probably the largest surface area flaps on a commercial aircraft…
amazing
