    The reg ID was just a SWAG, nothing more than that.

    N88ZL has been at ACY for a month or more... I wonder why it was not available.

    Good point, although why was it sitting in ACY? Has it flown at all? Maybe mechanical issue/check? It is a charter jet, after all.

    I don't know, but like you suggest, that is certainly possible. Although it does have a history of extended idle time between assignments, but generally that is done in Florida. Perhaps they're committed to someone else this week...who knows. I hope it will be around for awhile longer with its new "bandit mask" livery.

    Reading the warbird forum site regarding ABC/Pan Am looking for just the right airframe, I felt bad the guy was directed towards at least half dozen airframes without engines, or in some cases broken up years ago, not to mention tankers and cargo examples in the developing world. Not to disparage their knowledge otherwise, because they referenced a wealth of 707 information, but with exception of about one single post, they just seemed to miss the most obviously appropriate example. But N707JT will be a close enough approximation considering how little is out there...

    Tom, interesting post. When you think about it, ZL would probably be a much more accurate option since the 138 was only flown by QF but I think only us geeks would notice that little aspect. Not to mention, ZL has the last version of that engine which if I am not mistaken doesnt have those "air vents"

    Just throwing it out there, there would be a limitation for that aircraft. Have N88ZL ever been to FRG? Is it noise compliant? Does a different engine variation limit its ability to operate in and out of FRG? Cost or quality of repaint too expensive from the rich charter? There could be many variables that we don't see.

    Maybe Travolta gave them the Friends & Family discount since "Kotter" used to be on ABC.
    And the way the rating are falling for "Pan Am" we might not see much more of this so enjoy.

    I was wondering the same things. This thing needs to happen very quickly if it happens at all... too bad, I was enjoying the show a bit..

    Yeah, its not 100% authentic, but the 300 series fuselage length is there at least...

    Manny and I were there earlier this evening hoping to catch the bird. We ended up leaving around 6:45pm and headed back for home. Hoping to catch it tomorrow after work.

    ...Fitting all this banter falls upon the date of the last Concorde service from NY. :D



    Anyway, I drove by to see my beloved Ea6B parked over there. Keepin a wishful eye out for the 707
    And I, I took the path less traveled by
    and that has made all the difference......yet...
    I have a feeling a handle of people are going to be very interested in what I post in the near future.

    I was there with my spotting buddy for a little bit. I'm glad I refreshed the browser on the phone. Two nights in a row we struck out....

    The spotting buddy does not care as he gets to say hair-plane all night.
