What's Wrong With This Picture? (Resized)
It's a DC-8.
It's not one of the 60-series cargo stretches, but ouside of that I'm
not sure of which variant.
The giveaway is the set of ram air scoops on the nose at 5 & 7
o'clock.
I could be mistaken here, but perhaps the flaps don't look quite right
for a 707- didn't most 707s have a more slotted style?
Just one more telltale possibility - the leading edge looks like the
straight-line 30 degree sweep of DC-8s while 707s had 35 degrees, and
a lot of types had an extra-sweep sleeve between the fuselage and the
inboard engines.
My Boeing book is in the next room, but I just ate and got too
comfortable to move.
