[MrGrantgibbs]

I remember my very first flight and seeing the pilot....suppose those days have gone,what a shame.If i remember smoking was allowed towards the back of the aircraft.

[oxfordboy07]

Ah the good ol days before 9/11 when you could get to visit the cockpit :)

[ManxyBoy1]

I know it's a bit irrelevant, but my Granddad died 8 days after that :(

[NHR2020]

Its a long time since I saw a 707 for real...must have been back in the early '90's. Thanks for sharing this piece of aviation history!

[tonightwefly]

How long was the flight? 15 mins?

[matthiashaenni]

Thanks for sharing! It is very interesting!!!

[celticlofts]

What happend to that Aer Lingus 707 ? Is it still used for special flights or is it in an air museum somplace? Wonderful seeing a 707 in Shamrock colors.

Copy of B707DE comment 2 years ago explains,

"This beautiful 707 was delivered to Flying Tiger Line on 6/21/66 as N324F. It was the 707 featured in the 1970 film "Airport" with Dean Martin and Burt Lancaster. As PT-TCS of Transbrasil it crashed on 3/21/89 at São Paulo-Guarulhos Airport"

[BRUTUALTRUTH]

I was told that Ireland just has an airfield in Collingstown? All flights go to Belfast and people get trains and buses into the Republic!

[fetchfilms]

[Debuzzmon]

I was on this flight and I know R.T.E. did a report on the flight after the 6 o'clock news that night. Does anyone know the name of the programme. Had it on video but lost it.

[Locker10a]

Cant wait to see Aer Lingus back in Knock again in April!! Brilliant news!

[JamesLiveProductions]

Excellent! I love the Boeing 707, and my local airport, Knock!

[JivinIvan94]

Hear hear! Half my family work there, haha.

[RathEanaigh2007]

Classic!!, a different age...

[zarnticolz]

sure the crack in the cockpit is real Irish

[derryguy912]

this plane was coming from Knock wasn't it, so why was it landing in Knock again. Was it a charter flight or something?

[xoxaine2k8xox]

See the comment I posted after the part 2 video and all will be clear.This was a special last 707 passenger flight.

[B707DE]

This beautiful 707 was delivered to Flying Tiger Line on 6/21/66 as N324F. It was the 707 featured in the 1970 film "Airport" with Dean Martin and Burt Lancaster. As PT-TCS of Transbrasil it crashed on 3/21/89 at São Paulo-Guarulhos Airport

[Rocket4Barrel]

The good old days of jet travel, the captain allowing passengers up to tour the cockpit, I remember this on my first flight as a kid in 1975 on a United DC-8 from Wash National to Chicago O'Hare. The captain allowed me to come up and see the cockpit. I love these old birds. Great video.

[Torchjob]

Be glad you dont have to clean the outflow valves...DIRTY as HELL from all the cig smoke lol

[djgregbrowne]

You'd think all those people moving to the front of the a/c would make the CofG go all over the place!!!

[skippyisirish32]

not on a big plane the overall weight of this jet wouldent be affected by people moving to the front

[torque234]

wow,the captain invited anybody up to the cocpit.not anymore.

[merrkuree]

Thanks for posting this....I was actually on this flight and 'sierra oscar' was a great aircraft. My most vivid memory of SO is standing at the perimeter fence around by hangar 5 (?) in dublin during an engine test run of this 707.....I was unknown to the crew standing directly behind the aircraft at the perimeter fence.....suffive to say, I ended up on my ass about 30 secs after engine run-up.....

[CZMQFRG]

So a 707's engines can do that? Imagine a 787's 95,000-or-so Lbs Engines !

[merrkuree]

Yep, don't underestimate the JT3Ds, at full power and 250m away...they will knock you on your ass.....P&W built them well.....I do not want to be anywhere near a full thrust test of the 787 engines.....that is just asking for injury....

[tony0966]

Extinguish all cigarettes now,,so smoking is permitted in flight?

[tecmovie]

Back in 1986 it was, usually a section of seats towards the rear was allocated as the smoking area.

[DShannon08]

@tony0966 they was in 1986.

[EDDLspotter]

ohh very nice thanks for that!

[StalinsKnights]

Nice video. Thanks.
