A visitor from Mexico posted Sat February 19, 2011: The best aircraft ever made. I flew many times aboard the Boeing 707 form New York to Paris and back. Magnificent plane, smooth and strong, straightforward reliable mechanical operation. Comfortable, beautiful design. Those round shape over the head lamps were lit at night with very dim diffused blue light and you could see dozens of bright little white stars shining through the domes. A very simple yet spectacular effect on night flights! Everybody got a 100% pure wool blanket, white cotton slippers and black sleep eye masks. Wonderful! Excellent picture! It made me travel back in time... Congratulation on the photo!
A visitor from United States posted Fri December 11, 2009: Interiors looked cozier then than now!
A visitor from United Kingdom posted Sat June 30, 2007: Gawd. The "penthouse" interior of the original 707s are the most beautiful airliner cabins ever. Miraculously, the three Saha Air 707s still flying passenger schedules in Iran look like this, so it can still be experienced for real. Meanwhile this gorgeous photo exists to show those who can't make it to Iran what a classic aircraft the seven-oh is.
