I am so happy these pictures exist. Thank you for filming it in the first place, and putting on YT. MEA became the definitive 707 airline for all time, even more than Pan Am - who else flew the seven-oh for THIRTY YEARS?
@develish16 That was a bounced landing, it wasn't an abnormal or emergency procedure. This flights are use to introduce the pilot to the new airplane ( if came from another fleet)or for recency of the current pilots, so this the time to do mistakes, the base trainer will instruct in the right way to execute a good landing and after this training the pilot will be confident to fly the airplane in a safe manner. Anyway there were spectacular landings. Excellent landings but nobody is perfect

@AdigA90 i guess that was a just a final procedure to shed some speed off in case air breaks would not do the trick ...
