  • This B707 crashed in 2005

  • @duconducon2

    It didn't - that one was EP-SHE.

    As it happens though, the one in the video (EP-SHK) had an engine explode after take-off from Ahwaz around 2008, causing it to return to the airfield. It could have been much worse and the aircraft was damaged enough not to fly again.

  • What is the name of this airport and where is it?

  • @TexasTyToon

    Mashad Airport in Iran

  • The 707 requires a very long runway for take-off and landings, this is due to the highly swept back wing, which allows it to cruise at higher speeds. Due to that factor, letting the engines power up will allow for a more rapid acceleration and an earlier, safer take-off.

  • The 707 is retired, but was a lovely plane!

    It was the fastest subsonc airline. With a cruise speed of 530KTS@37,000FT.

  • awesome sound!!! Thanks for posting this great video!!

  • Welcome to IRAN

  • @RyanAndBurnett The swept back wing is part of the reason--but another part is simply that total power output at 19,000 lbs x 4 = 76,000 lbs isn't really all that much for an a/c with a gross TO weight of 336,000 lbs (compare to the 757-200ER: gross TO weight of 255,000 lbs and typically over 80,000 lbs total thrust!). An empty 707 could really kick ass on takeoff and be in the air in under 3,000 feet of runway. Its performance--like that of the JT3D-powered DC-8--suffered at high weight.

  • great video dude!

  • Heavily loaded 707s get airborne because of the curvature of the earth.

  • @randomstuff5464 But Iran Air isn't owned by the government so it wouldn't matter a whole lot, if I'm wrong please correct me.

  • @yamahonkawazuki IKR!? And all you see is Iran Air 747's!

  • @randomstuff5464 or better yet. leave it to iran that hates the US so much that it flies an old AMERICAN plane

  • @fafoair first plane ride i ever took was in a 707. this was in 1979. from ohare ( chicago) to KTYS in knoxville/alcoa tn
