The GE 707 I read just a week ago was at Mojave, but is being scrapped (eaten by
the muncher at Mojave) since the program that GE used it for is completed and
the plane has no further usage.

John Travolta probably has the finest 707 still operating - he had a new glass
cockpit and executive interior installed and it must be a superb aircraft - it
has been featured on the Discovery Channel in a documentary and is spectacular.

I remember reading somewhere a couple years back that one of first couple

707's is still flying somewhere in the US, I think in Florida. I haven't
been able to Google any info, so does anybody know the plane I'm taking
about and if so is it still flying?


Are you thinking of N70700, Boeing's first 707 prototype (367-80,
aka Dash 80)? It's kept in Seattle and Boeing still flies it out for
airshows and such.
