OO-SBU

Boeing 707-373C

19442/609

Sobelair

 

I recently learned (from the "airport movements" section in a 1967 copy of Aviation Letter) that this airframe had in fact visited Riem as N370WA with World Airways on 7 October 1967. In spring 1979, between 15 February and 7 May, OB-SBU was noted at Riem several times in basic Air Algérie colours.

 

Information from flickr - thanks to heathrow junkie:

OO-SBU c/n 19442 - Boeing 707-373C was delivered new to World Airways in August 1967 as N370WA. The aircraft was leased to a number of airlines throughout its life, ending up with Air Algerie in 1978. The aircraft was then sold to Sobelair in January 1979, and flew as OO-SBU until 1990. The aircraft is now in military use as a converted E-8C with the USAF registered 94-0285.
