N88ZL Close to the Scrappers at OPF?

Kenny is not going to like this thread...

Such a shame to lose another classic bird. Never got a shot of her myself but I know Kenny & Senga stalked this bird for a while.

Andy's right. I don't much like this thread at all. It would be a crime if she was scrapped. An absolute crime.

Let's all pray that she isn't scrapped for Kenny's sake (as if we don't all think scrapping a beautiful old 707 is a capital offense).

is there something special about this 707, or is it just that is IS a 707?

Travolta SHOULD indeed buy her for either parts or as a backup bird for the wife to go shopping :tongue:

i hope something can be done with N88ZL to keep it from getting scrapped. 707s are very rare today and it would be disappointed to tear it apart

N88ZL is out on a tarmac at KOPF out of the storage area which I thought was the point of no return. Same paint, same registration. I hope this is good news for this classic.
